looks like my nephew is going to be picking up number 6. She's going to be staying with me this summer and I am calling for an all hands on deck Meeting/meetings over the summer to help him get the cruiser up to a good baseline.
With out getting into too many details he had a rough life.
Broken home and homeless until his dad could find him and get a custody.
Any sign "strangers" care about him and the ability to learn a real skill set will change his life for the positive.
Landspeeder took a pretty big loss on this rig so we could afford it and have some money left over.
I usually hate these thing but in this case I think it deserves it
This is what we are starting with
He will have $700-$1000 to base line it and I know that it needs a speedo and front breaks already.
If you have any time, parts, materials, tools,or anything else that you would be willing to donate or sell cheap I would greatly appreciate. He owns nothing but an old x box and a cell phone.
Remember This is for a kid so I'm not looking to build a monster tuck; just something that will get them through college and allow him to have some fun.
Thanks for any help guys
Up date: should be getting the rig tomorrow..
Start a list (Safety is the only real priority eveything else is icing) The stereo is BA though... Eric help me out..
!) we need new front rotors an pads
2) we need to a birf swap with bearing and seal job
3) Knock sensor?
4) O2 sensor?
5)I will change all gear oil soon
6) front bumper I have one just need to make sure I got all the parts and get it on.
7) seats need to be fixed (both don't work but the driver side is the important one)
Non Safety
1) seat cover or used leather
2) radio
3) had minor leak (maybe oil pump seal)
Update
We have used 40th leather
A dash cluster
A front end rebuild kit!
We have a radio dvd player
Maybe a set of tools..
I feel like I'm forgetting something

and requiring a new $100 bezel, so maybe it will help him. A 100 series has to have a fixe face radio so I went with the pioneer appradio and use the ARLiberator app to mirror my phone on the radio.
