So this rig kind of fell into my lap. a friend from high school called me up to come look at her fathers cruiser and tell him how much to sell it for... i wasn't looking to buy since i have a '96 80 and a 64LV in pieces. I gave a quick once over and gave him my thoughts then went home and was telling my wife that it was in good shape, ran and drove, super clean tailgate next to no rust and on and on... she said "well why don't you buy it?" and i thought, "don't have to tell me twice.." so i went and drove it home with my 4 yr.old as co-pilot.
the Plan:
- OME suspension - DONE
- Disc brakes - DONE
- 5 speed - in process
- 1-HZ swap - in process
- FST - Bows work well, need to adjust the top a little
- Bench seat (for kid comfort/safety) - Puchased, needs to be upolstered
- 8274 winch - on the hunt
- upgraded headlights, not sure which ones currently -back burner
- custom Long range tank - back burner
Needed parts:
- FST windshield frame
- factory roll bar
- UB-40 fender flares? or wheel well patches? not sure here, but it is down the road for now..
