Wrenched on the slash, added mudflaps and a light. See the Halloween contest thread for that 
Wrenched on the Mini B. Full rear end and transmission rebuild since the open diff likes the grease to just vanish on its own. Packed it in with red n tacky and it's feels much better. But I found my issue, that one of the bearings in the wheel hub blew which caused the wheel to lock up. Surprised it lasted 2 1/2 years.

I have a long list of things to do to my cars gotta plug away one at a time though

Woke up. Watched YouTube and reels for 2 hrs and then right to the workbench lol.
Fixed the slipper issue with the mini. Put on carpet tires on the buggy. Cut out new wing. Replaced some rounded screws. I have 2 super rounded screws that are holding in the diff case. @WickedFog, you said to use a torx bit right? I think T7 or T8 bits should work? Checked the tool box and I have torx bits but they are 10s 15s and 20s.

I made a cardboard template for a front splitter. Gonna transfer it into my CAD at work & design a 7075 aluminum 4mm thick one & CNC it out & bend the edges up.

Messing with suspension and alignment: I’ve never had a car so cockeyed in my life but it’s working so far. Next to figure out how to get this diff out and also do shock fluids
what is this? is it a mud boss?
