So.. Who has two thumbs and a box full of fail? Me! Just thought I'd post it that I am the new owner of the infamous Fail Box. And she is living up to her name.

I have already gone through the process of replacing the front bearing.. as to which the front bearing had been bad so long.. that the bearing shell had been welded to the front spindle. But with the can do attitude that must be taken with the fail box.. the job was done..

As it stands.. the dash has been replaced.. it has been painted.. the interior has been cleaned up and the panels will soon have new material.. I've posted some pictures and will get some more once its light outside.

I'mm happy to have inherited the fail.. I can honestly say.. I've never found more zip ties.. doing nothing.. than on this car.. Don.. You are the Zip Tie King.. Kudos to you..ha ha ha..

 

First

And so quoting you on that

 

How hard was the bearing replacement?

 

It was one of the hardest things I've done the these cars.. it could have been much easier had I started out with the right tools.. But I got them and it made it a lot more bearable. Not something I would recommend taking on by yourself..

 

So can we get ready for a Failbox sequel, with sideline commentary Howard Cosell style?

 

it kind of looks good primer black

 

Like I said.. I'll get some better pics today.. I hope the fail doesn't continue, but I'm prepared for the residual fail that is bound to happen.. Such as... The hatch.

 

in for more fail.

 

Redneck couldn't have paid you enough to take the Failbox off his hands ;). G/L with the rebuild. Let's hope your level of fail is a lot lower than we're used to seeing with the Failbox.

 

She brought it up to my house today

 

Lame, I think I have a bad bearing.

 

I can't help it, the failbox really does look intense in primer black...

 

I agree, it looks great.

 

Well, Congrats! Digging the Cop Car look.

 

Wee woo wee woo wee woo.. ha ha.. Pictures!!


Interior..


Hatch Fail.

Somehow.. I was taking on water? and it had rusted and started leaking out.. very odd.. hopefully fixed this weekend..

 

Wow, that hatch... wow.

Dig the houndstooth though.

 

O.O

Kinda looks like the tailgate of my 98 Frontier before I threw it to the fishes... DAMN

Now would be a GREAT time to get a new tailgate that has a fold down 48" plasma for backyard PS3 time!

 

hmm you think the fail jumped to the genesis while it had a chance?

 

Could be.. Don said he had some issues already.. could cross my fingers..

 

Ain't that the truth... You tell me where they're handing those out and I'mma go get me one..
