Starting point is checking the fluids. You probably didn't hydrolock the engine. White smoke can be condensation and not coolant, so from what you're saying, it sounds like you're jumping to conclusions. There are tons of places to lose coolant that aren't the head gasket.

3fe engines are tough to source. What symptoms is yours exhibiting?

Are we planning on setting up the swap meet in a specific area? That would be neat if we all had our junk in the same small area like a flea market.

It's still just as broken as it was at gsmtr this year. The ps front door is sealed against rain with duct tape, lol.

@Hokie LX found me a sick deal on a set of 37" bfg ats not long ago. 18 months old or so, and still have the nipples on them. A set of 5 for a grand. I'm a fan. They fit the truck way better than the old 315s. After those went on I was immediately reminded that the rear driveshaft is bad again...

Give it a shot, see if the trans lasts longer this time around.

The welded diff I did made that car so much better, lol. Wheels look tight.

I didn't think of it till now, but I've read that the input thrust bearings can die during low speed use in these transmissions due to lack of lubing. Apparently a fix is to overfull by a quart. I put an extra quart in through the shift tower with my new trans last year.

If it can haul property (i.e. anything) then yes. If it's something like a pig cooker, then no, doesn't need reg or a plate. This is why the club pig cooker doesn't need a reg or a plate.

Found a spot for the head unit too. Aiming to have tunes for RR this year. Don't think I'll get to mounting the tv, but tunes, hopefully.

Mostly finished product for the motel sign. I'm stoked with how it has come out. Please ignore the caulk ooze. Til that a new tube of caulk can go bad in less than a year.

Killer showing! Thanks for setting this up @UZJ105!

No s***! Another cruiser addict who dabbles with p-cars. Where in NC are you? We should get together. I find the 987 super easy to work on. I love it.

Brakes wired, hub+drumset installed and preload set, axles located and torqued, wheels on, and finally, trailer on the ground. Not as low as I remember it, and I think it's gonna be just about right for the car. Easier to step into and out of as well. Onwards and upwards.

While figuring out how I wanted to finish the wall inset panel the brakes and hubs showed up. Got the old hubs and brakes off, lift kit cut out and new brakes on. Gotta wire the magnets in, install the drums, adjust the brakes and recenter the axles tomorrow. Nice quick win, and it'll be...
