I did a video explaining the parts that make up Pp power setup.
Trying to start doing a weekly update video, update on my health and plans for next week.

Pp front upgrade!
In the pictures below you can see a before and after then the photo by its self is a Photoshop drawing of what it will look like once it is finished.
this past week i took the headlights from our tiny home shuttle bus La Vincent and added them to pp below the original headlights. why? so i can see when driving at night the second set of headlights almost doubles the amount i can see. so it was well worth it. then i made a custom grill for pp the only thing not done is adding the words in the girl Purple passion and finishing painting it and spraying a clear coat on it. over a day was spent modifying and installing the frame for the second set of lights and a long day on the running the wiring for the new lights and i still have a day installing the switches when the come in the mail from amazon.
every day pp gets a little closer to being built but there’s a long way to go.
Ty for taking a look.

Giving Pp a head lift.
Post on work done back in 2024 before my surgery.
Raising her roof, nothing much like a facelift but just as needed. First backed her under the big magnolia tree in our yard to use one of its limbs. Then went around Pp, took out all the screws that were holding the raised top fiberglass topper so we can raise it 8 inch’s. To do this i used the winch on the front of la Vincent our shuttle bus/tiny home. Run it across the tree limb and down through the top of Pp where the ac unit was. Looped it around a 2×4 board. Pp’s top lifted right up in the air.
Then measured the gap between Pp’s bottom frame and the top, decided what Height i wanted and cut a 1/2 inch board. Then with screws we fastened the top of Pp to the board and the board to Pp’s frame.
Now the front was little harder it took building a frame working around the corners and filling it in. Will come back and do a finish board, pvc and wood with fiberglass and Bondo and then paint it.
ok Ty for reading and looking at the photos.
