You're doing an awesome job bringing this one back to glory..... and with such low miles. Keep it up. The Cement looks great on the 80!

Installed a off brand SPOD ...really good quality. Hooked up some led fog lights as well and figured it was as good as time as any to removed some more emissions stuff.

Not a whole lot going on,just in the middle or rebuilding the front end. Besides news seals, bearings, gaskets I'm also doing brake lines, calipers, pads, rotors, Tre, and castor correction bushings, it's just taking forever because I'm cleaning/painting everything while I'm at it.

Awesome job and color choice! Giving this a new life with less than 80k miles means it will last literally forever. My 1992 is a couple thousand miles from rolling 400k on the original drivetrain.

Thanks! I hope it last that long lol. just hoping to get enough out of her so the wife doesnt murder me when I bring up and LS swap lol. I love your cruiser BTW. That thing is awesome.
I'd love to hear about the details on cost for this paint job. I went to them just two months ago for some motorcycle parts and they asked waaayyyyy to much. I'd like to get mine painted in the next year in a two tone as it is now.

Hey! I actually say your rig at the ball field on kbay when I picked up the kayaks from MWR. I really dig the color scheme of your truck. What kind of referb does your truck need? just basics?

So......while I was finishing up on the axle i went to separate the P/S briff and axle shaft but that did not go as planned. The clip got mangled and I had to cut it of. Due to my awesome cutt-off skills i ruined my shaft by cutting to deep. Now I need to order a new one....ughh

Wish all you guys were around when I was on island...
Look at it this way, you're going to have a brand new rig when you're done! This just might be the thread to get me out to recondition all those parts I said I would..
