So I bought this 76' Bombi back in March of last year and over the summer I have totally restored the whole thing below is an overview of what I have done;
- Totally patched and painted cab (Alot of fiberglass work and body filler) with industrial equipment paint
- Sanded and degreased tub, repainted with herculiner
- Installed all new LED lights (2100 Lumens per piece on the headlights, and 1850 lumens for the roof top lights)
- Whelen LED Class 1 Strobe light with Brush Guard
- Repainted Muffler and added a Tractor Trailer style flapper
- Rebuilt Track Tensioners
- Added new High Output heater and hoses for max warmth when grooming!
- Jegs silver gauges with white background with LED bulbs (Volts, Oil Pressure, Tach, Water Temp, and Fuel (Which for some reason wont work right, I am going to try another ohm range gauge any other ideas on why it wont work or does anyone know what ohm range it is supposed to use?)
-All new wiring, switches, & ignition thru out (This was quite a job!)
- New glass front and rear (I had a "glass company" do it and I am not impressed, will have to have redone.
- Oil Change with Mobil 1 Extended performance 10w-30 (Is this the right weight oil?)
- Changed Differential Oil, Pennwood Tractor Hydraulic Fluid for wet brakes
- Converted to winter air intake
- Had seats reupholstered (They look Awesome!)
- Used Meguiars Rubber cleaner and conditioner on the tracks to hopefully get some more life out of them.
- Replaced brakes (not the bands but the pads for the pedal)
- I reinforced the engine compartment with some steel (welded it and fiberglassed it in for support)
- I had to replace the engine vents, I ended up using some HVAC return vents, they are not really what I wanted (very flimsy) but they work.
- Flushed coolant and replaced
- New 140 Amp One wire alternator
- Dynamat Extreme throughout entire cab
- Carpet Headliner and walls (Obviously not on floors!)
- Rebuilt Carb
- New Spark Plugs
- Obviously a new wiper blade (I would like to put a new arm on it any ideas?)
- I need to find a new fuel cap.
- I have ordered new sliding side windows from "Motion Windows" they should be in at the end of this month (I am trying to get the order rushed because snow is falling as I type this!)
More photos to come as dropbox catches up with my phone!
