Builds Fujiwara's 3 linked super daily

[Squeegee]

Better man? I’m not sure bout that, you roll a 3 link…

Anybody can cobble one of those though! Takes a lot of work to do what you’re doing with your 80

Tell me about it. Love your super flex photos.

Since I crashed it the car doesn’t have much looks so I guess it has to at least work well

More parts

So the bumper got welded up before moab. It was my second big welding project and I was really proud of how it turned out. My welds definitely improved from the rear bumper. Even without the wings put on, it looks amazing. @1jzhilux has very good taste. I noticed a huge improvement from the arb which used to hang up pretty hard when I nosed the car into anything. I also got a set of light forces because weird old stuff is cool. Even if they're not that useful

Next big project was the sliders. I shopped around for DIY options and I didn't love how any of them looked so I called up another friend and he bent up a set of sliders for me. I wanted something tucked closed to the body, and well ..... wide. Which I definitely got. I liked the idea of kickouts but none of the available options seemed to kick out enough to really push the body away from the obstacle.

We flexed the cars out and then headed out to moab. The sliders definitely looked a little funny with the stock wheels and 35s

Sweet bumper, which brand is it?

Sweet bumper, which brand is it?

The front my friend designed and I put 4x4labs wings on it and the rear was one of my first welding projects

The drive down was pretty uneventful except I didn’t have the sway bar link in the right holes on the arm. Everytime I would hit a bump or get on or off the throttle it would steer the car. The combo of that and the crazy panhard angle in the rear was no bueno. I fixed it somewhere in Idaho and it was better for the rest of the drive down. I should get an eimkieth thingy for the panhard

do you have more pics or a build thread for the rear, including how you chopped the rear quarter on the body?

I don’t honestly, there’s been a bunch of dudes who have done the quarter chop and documented it way better than me. I did the chop and built the bumper outside while it was snowing so I didn’t take many pictures

I did a tune up on the 80 today and changed out the filter… the filter was not in good shape. I also finally changed out my broken tail light… it only took a year. I also took out my 60L Engel it was HUGE and took up almost the entirety of the space between the drivers seat and the spare. The new to me 35L domestic should fit my needs a little better

More parts. I ran my pump dry for waaaaay to long after the accident and my hydro assist has kinda sucked. I’m really hoping this oem pump breathes some life into the steering

The 80s finally in the garage build season starts this week.

 

[Broski]

What's on the list ?

 

[Squeegee]

What's on the list ?

New sliders, new power steering pump, power steering filter, install the EMF tie rod ends, new years springs, 10% underdrive, install, prelude seats, maybe rear bumper, super maybe 3 link the rear

 

[Broski]

Ambitious !!

 

[Squeegee]

Ambitious !!

Or dumb. Idk which one

 

[Squeegee]

The seat foam on the drivers side of the prelude seats were pretty hammered so I’m in middle of figuring out if it can be swapped with the passenger side

 

[Squeegee]

An hour later and the drivers side is a crispy piece again. Not bad for $150 seats
