The penguin build!!

Alright, it's not much yet... so far bought a 1995 4 skipper and now it's time to start throwing money at it !! First thing done was the 3 kcs I just mounted... 14 gage wire to a 30 amp switch....I didn't have time but soon I'm going to drill a hole probably 2 inches lower than the perch and tuck the wires in there

I'll keep you guys updated! !

It was already there and a good place in the future to put more light switches...and I think if I bend it a bit more it and make some type of custom cover it would actually look pretty clean

Was the old cup holder mount lol

Just added 5 spark plugs (couldn't get to the 6th, back passenger side) and a wix fuel filter.... not much but I think the pic speaks for itself

Alright, I know its been awhile, been working and what not.

Today finally got some time and started pulling the carpet up to bedline the whole interior. I still have the plastic parts of the rear interior to get out, that's tomorrows work though.

Then I ran into a problem though.....😡

When I started pulling I totally forgot about the rear heating element and I'm wondering how I should disconnect that and still make it clean? (Second picture***)

I was thinking just disconnecting the soft lines under the rig but how do i clamp them off efficiantly? I'm pretty sure coolant runs through that and I don't Need a coolant leak...any ideas/suggestions to get past this?

I will have more pictures tomorrow
