I like my little Confederate flag.

At the moment I work on my roof rack.

Here is the first picture with mounted headlights.



I´m still working on the wiring.

When it works, I will disassemble the roof rack and let it coated in black.
Later, I want to mount a sheet of aluminium and some lashing eyes for some baggage.

Nice roof rack! But a nasty crash for your friend. I couldn't tell for sure, but from the size of the rear end and drums, it looked like a 2500 truck.. I wish him the best...

Thanks.

Tomorrow, I drive to Muenster and visit a friend to get the seats of his Blazer.
It´s a 98 model where the headrest is integrated in the seat.
I think it looks better.

Today I came back from Muenster with my new seats, which I get from my buddy Marcus.

They are in good conditions an looks much better than my old seats.



Now they stand in my cellar, but I started immediatley with the disassembling of the passenger seat, to wash it and to align the seat mounts.

Yesterday, I continued the disassembling of the seats.
The frame for the lumbar was broken and the cable for the lumbar adjustment was teared.
But my buddy (the K2500-crasher) welded the frame, and I bought a brake cable for a bicycle, because it has the same size like the adjustment cable.

Now I look for the adaption of the seat console.
For the front passenger seat I musst drill a hole on every side for the backrest bracket.
The console is a little bit rusty, so I paint it yellow.
