of mine anyways...
Well, I`ve been working on old run down cars for so long, I`ve forgotten whats it like to work on a relativly new vehicle. Today I got my chance with this 2005 Dodge Dakota, with close to 15,000km on it. I`m not saying it was perfect, it had its fair share of swirls and scratches when it came in, but it was definatly a winner when it headed out my garage door.
The owner walked up and asked me where his truck was. :LOLOL He watched as I pulled it out of the garage, and lifted up his sunglasses with a :drool: look on his face. Needless to say he was impressed.
I didn`t get any before pictures, due to overcast, making the early morning sun even less evident.
Here are the shots for ya fine folks:

I`m too lazy to type out the other things, and its time for me to go and help replace the crank bearings in the quad. Thanks for looking, and please leave any questions or comments.
