Finally had a chance to take some baby steps on the rig. Been quite busy at work over the last few weeks.

First thing was to get some rollers and get it in the garage before the crappy weather and temp drops hit.

Then I got into taking the interior out. Everything is dirty from sitting and the interior paint job needs to be redone. Vac'd and cleaned.

On to the first big project for the rig, which is getting the battery relocated and cleaning up the wiring. What a mess...

Found every Sharpie marker that was ever used in the build!

Got sick of following wiring around and cut off the old sliders and spring hangers.

When I was putting the rig on jack stands, jacked it up on the passenger side and gear oil started pouring out of the driver side axle. I don't think there are any seals in the axle, or if there is....they aren't working! Minor details. It's all coming apart anyways...

Finishing wiring and battery relocation this weekend.
 
still chippin away... I wish I had more time to make this more aesthetically pleasing but I can come back to it later. It'll work for now. The dash gauges are mounted on some stainless I had layin around. I also got my new coilover hoops bent up too.

What gauges and size are they? I cut the harness out of my truck today...:doh:
 
Any updates?

This is one of those builds everyone in the 60 section should be required to read, it's humbling.
