What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (69 Viewers)

[80 Series Al]

Perfect setup for solo, IMO. I'd still want a back seat for occasional passenger/dog. I have envisioned pretty much what you've got there but it's at the bottom of a collosal list of piorities

What front seats are those? Lexus ES?

Yea! Hey how do u have a bench up front!? Very jelly

Question remains what seats

 

[Jeff Elliott]

Still need to get my sliders built and mounted

Nice work! Are those sliders 4x4 Labs or someone else's?

80-series in the shop getting a pretty big refresh. Engine oil leaks, knuckle and wb job, new stock suspension, interior refresh, stereo and more.

Cheers

Gonna suck paying the bill for all that work done at once, gonna be sweet driving it home though.

I think you should go with carpet. The bedliner releases fumes for a LONG time. There are a few that have lined the interior and most of those said they wouldn't do it again due to the strong odors.

Completely agree..I bought some value (cheap as feck) carpet from the big orange store for about $20..covered my drawers beautifully...and all my mistakes...

Dude I hear you about the list. This only made it to the top of the list because it is my work vehicle.

Here in upstate NY, winter was the worst time to be doing that project considering my garage is too small to fit both the truck and the project, and each time I wanted to take a measurement or test fit, I would have to layer up and open the overhead door and poke around in the mostly dark and cold, throw my stuff in and pull it back out and close the garage. And half the time it was so damn cold I just put it off.

The seats are from an Audi. An A6 maybe? The PO included them in the sale, I just needed to finish fabricating the mounts.

What's up with your radiator hose and the extra clamp?

Tackled a few small things this week. I've been plagued for years by how to store my cross style lug wrench that I carry in the truck. These things suck because they don't sit flat and they're an awkward shape. I was working on something else the other night and noticed a few scrap brackets I had taken off of something else a while ago and a lightbulb when off. I used them to make 4 little half moon brackets. I welded some bolts to the back ones studs and use the other two with some wing nuts to hold the lug wrench. Added it to the backside of the spare tire on the carrier and now the stupid wrench has a spot that it's not causing me grief.

Now that I have a tilt slide for the fridge, I put the attic rack back in the truck too.

Cool!

The C-Ring (Coolant Ring) keeps more fluid in the hose, thus making it larger and longer lasting.

What type of rack is that? And where can I get one?

Could be wrong but his looks homemade, Delta makes an incredibly sturdy looking bolt in one though.

My attic rack is a DIY one.
