Whatcha think?

One thought about your water soaked cart--make sure to flush the rear axle the second you get it home. I know you can drive the cart, but get that muck outta there anyway. Also watch the front wheel bearings as well. This is all coming from memories of threads on here about hurrican Ike casualty rebuilds from your area. Have you done a search on Ike rebuilds yet?? try it out...there were a couple really good threads going for a while

Even worse....This was a Katrina victim.....Who knows what I'm gonna find when I start digging...for all I know Jimmy Hoffa may be in there....

I'm gonna start a thread when I get some pics and more info.....

A big whiteboard is being setup in the garage for note and such.....alot of pics...alot of ziplocks for the parts, and label em all.....

I'm sure I'm over my head, and will have a zillion questions....*L*
