How are you coming with your project? Other than the roll bar. I was just curious, because it seemed to really be shaping up. How bout pictures? Just wondering..... Country
Preston I will try and take some pictures this weekend......... but money has been real tight and progress slow......well that and body work REALLY sucks!!!!!......to recap I lack around $600 on the engine (mainly machine work) and a lot of nickle and dime stuff.......
Man, that's too bad! You were MOVIN' for a good while there. Hope it all picks back up for you! I was just wondering, cause I'm anxious to hear all about this beast when it is finished! Good Luck- Country
he'd prolly be farther along if this buddy of his would get some measurments for him,,, im sorry buddy it was a VERY busy day,, it was going all good till about 3 when Nick's girlfriend calls (now 8 months prego) and tells me her car broke down and needed me to pick her up,, so i get there the friggin timing belt took a poop on the lil' Escort, so i go to pick up the trailer only to find out i had to go get a Ranger i gotta work on tomarrow (blown headgasket 4.0 gonna be fun? lol) THEN i finally got to go get the ricecort and take it my uncles and then take the trailer home,, UGH notice $h!t dont break when its nice outside but when its friggin cold!! lol... any way i'll try to get them for you tomarrow buddy...
not a problem jim.........the 4.0 aint that bad..............and I'm still plunking away with the car preston just slow going.........If it's not done by spring I am liable to let it set for 2 years and see how it likes it!!!!! this has been a long educational adventure........I have done pretty much 100% of all of the fab work on this car(sometimes not because I wanted to but because I cannot afford others to do it).......this is the first time I had ever done the MII.......also the first time on the coilover ladderbar rear.....and this will be the first Rollcage I have ever built(also because it's what I can afford)and the dredded body work (which I hate)......(.I'm still looking for that bodyman out there that needs a transmission built) ...... I have been working on this project for so long that I have forgotten when I started!!!...I have all of my interior new or in good shape......I only lack a few pieces of weater strip......a little more on paint supplies and a few last pieces for brakes,......oh yeah front shocks..........and on and on and on............the motor is mainly machine work(I have no choice there) and a few hours work to go thru the tranny(I have all of the parts.)and then just put it all together........I have all of my ignition(msd) and all of my fuel system minus a few -AN- fittings..........so there ya have it.......all in a nutt shell
Well, you've dang sure been busy! I guess though, if you do get discouraged, you can always look back at what you have done. That's a pretty good list of progress! All I have to say is that is gonna be one awesome machine! Luck to ya! Preston
Elliot the biggest part of the body work so far has been the roof......no big dents just lots of little ones.......and they are the kind that when you sand the paint down you have like 3" cresents present......I have it all about done on the roof except a couple places that are kicking my ASS!!......the rest is on 1/4 repair and filling all of those damn chrome holes..........but there are no major dents in my car but I have spent so much time on this thing that I want it to look good.......And yes Dennis I hope to have it there as well.........but I need to have it running by the spring so I can dial in the suspension...........keep your fingers crossed
with what I have planned for my engin I`ll need my tranny rebuilt but my skills don`t go far beyond bondo
