If anyone wants anything specific - shoot me an pm/email, I'm home for the week finally !
 
Beautiful rig...GLWS. I'm in Houston also for a while. I'm looking for one to put a SL V8 in and also an Alucab.

cheers,
Jim
 
Thanks Jim - Merc M156 into an 80 ? having had a C63 track car that would be interesting.......
 
New F & R OEM driveshafts enroute - and in the que for a LR 37 gal tank replacement this fall ... will continue to finish up the build until she finds the right home.... last things are under/overdrive gears and SPool and hubs...... and Sc'er if I can find one or in Landtanks kit comes together....
 
Update , now at 224k , engine breaking in nicely from the HG redo with fresh fluids everywhere - Slee front DC DS inbound .... could deliver to East coast or Atl area - I'm in VA for work every other week these days. Tires just rotated and new wiper blades and a few last elec items sorted. Planning to finally do Diff breathers this weekend as it's cooling down finally.....

may have a Sc'er lined up as well....hoping if that comes together to have it installed by early Oct and will update price.
 
oh, and have a CE Desert dune hood in the garage that matches perfectly for any purists who don't like the scoops/vents..... I can understand....

Front Slee DC driveshaft is in - new OEM rear enroute. Will post pics of the spare CE hood shortly - had a few requests for that for folks who didn't like the scoop/vented hood....
 
with 35's it's fine for most any use - but I had/have plans for the under drive tran/ transfer gears that effectively accomplish that as part of the overhaul of the transfer case/ part time conversion w/ hubs..... that and the LR replacement tank are the last things I'm chasing while it looks to find it's next owner.... the Sc'er / Turbo if desired is on them ......

I did 4:88's on my 200 build and they worked great to resolve the gear hunting on 35's and 37's but over the 5 80's I've built I've never found gears needed.

Very interesting proposition to do a top mount intercooler with the hood scoop - has anyone successfully done this that you were taking inspiration from? GLWS
 
Landtank is working on one for the sc'er kit he's looking to bring to market - and there was a older kit sold in small batches that had one- can't find it on the board however..

LANDTANK - SUPERCHARGER

thought I'd share an update on this project, While technically you don't need a bypass valve at low boost levels but I wanted one in the system. Fitting one into the system has been a challenge for me. I've tried several locations and different valves and nothing really came together in the way...

I was planning to use a small flat Mishimoto version that fits almost perfectly into the STI scoop w/ a Seal

update - the spare uncut hood got dented in storage and scratched, lesson learned do not stack rims tires over 4 high.....

new pads all the way around this weekend, and the new 02 sensors and rear driveshaft should go in next weekend.... LR tank ETA is still pending.....

As with my last rigs I'm looking for the "right" next owner - not just a sale.... don't need the cash for the new build but want to find her a great new home. Had several folks interested in her but wanting to do an LS swap or take it back to stock suspension etc....

PM me if you've got questions or want details / pics etc....
 
bump - been travelling too much but hope to get the Rear DS and new o2's in early next week...
