Hi,
Week 7: We had great fun removing the front bumper and the fenders. The girls were a great help and actually did most of the work. The fenders are now in our basement for a little rust removal and dent repair. Once the fenders were off we noticed a little more rust in corners, which brings us to...
Week 8: Fortunately, we were able to grind out the rust and did not need to weld anything. I found a 1 inch by 3 inch hole in the firewall just above the dead pedal. I am sure this was the source of the water that rusted out the floor. We patched it with a little steel and sheet metal screws as it was an awkward place to weld. We spent the rest of the weekend cleaning the garage because my parents need their garage back for a couple of weeks. We will spend the break daddy-daughter camping and collecting parts.
ELSA: For the fenders, we found a few little extra screws, but took those out. It was fun to unscrew the fenders. Watching Dad cut the steel was very interesting, and so was taking off the fenders, since it was very involved. I don't think that there's much else to report on Brigita, so here's Greta.
GRETA: I liked unbolting the fenders. There were mystery screws. The screws were rusty. I wonder what we are doing next time.
INGRID: Brigita would especially like a rainbow pony. We really enjoyed taking off the fenders. It was super duper fun. Another thing that was fun was to work on cars. You should always enjoy working on things with your dad. We did one noisy thing, which hurt my ears (grinding). We love working on the car. Stuff can be really fun with your daughters.

Burning man was fun.I liked when the head fell off. I thought that the Tiki torch oil would explode. We saw a mysterious person in the house. But it turned out to be Steve's older brother Bob. We put Helium in balloons. But 3 of them went up to the celing...Emily S.
