Mustang Grabber Blue?

 

holy crap! thats close!

 

Got a couple more things done last night and plan to get some more done today.. Last night I started reinstalling the accessories back on the firewall.... I also cleaned up my brake booster and purchased a new clutch master... TODAY I plan on finishing the firewall and removing the tranny, ultimate plan this weekend is to get my motor into the runner! ill take some pics today!

 

Exremely tired so I'll just let the pictures do the talking.......

 

Wow!! Awesome progress

 

You did do alot, for it being a million degrees out this weekend! I barely got anything done!

 

Got a little cleaning done tonight!




Got seals from marlin crawler and some other seals from the local toyota stealership... Hopefully Ill be able to get some serious work done if the weather permits!

 

Gotta start hanging out in the 84-85 area. I get stuck in the 86-95 section. You guys have nice rides here. Looking forward to your build.

 

What did you use to clean the tranny? I never get them that clean.

 

Went down to my local Pepboys and got two cans of foaming degreaser and a bottle of purple power, put one can of foaming degreaser and let sit for 10-15 minutes and put on another coat for another 10-15 minutes... Took my dads little electric power washer to it and that got about %70 of the crap off.. Then I used the purple power, a scrubbing brush, and some good ol elbow grease... I still need to do the bottom! Hope that helps out!

 

are u selling parts of your pickup?

 

Ive been selling parts as I get them off, not a lot of stuff left, just sold the cab and my 85 rear axle.... Something you looking for???

 

Sweet build so far. I will keep an eye on this one

 

that 87 you had was sweet. this should turn out nice! subscribed.

 

so why did you part the 87 instead of just keeping it and then getting a new front end and motor for the 85?

 

To put it simply, money... Im sure that a lot of you guys understand that it is not cheap owning a older vehicle... I have a lot of plans for the runner(lift, dual cases, and Im even in the process of rebuilding a 3rz to swap in)... So I just decided that I needed the runner more than the truck (have a g/f and two kids and the truck only seats one passenger).. SOOO I decided to use my truck and get my runner going, the 3rz will be on hold until the money thing gets better....

 

Well took huge advantage of the three-day weekend and thought I would post some pics:
Did a little more cleaning... BEFORE

Finished up putting in my EFI fuel filter and bracket (thanks 93 Runner)...

Finished sunday night off by selling my truck cab and getting the starter installed...

Went out today and started working on the runner but was only able to work on her for maybe an hour or two and then it rained...

Looks like Ill have to get some more done next weekend...

 

You got that looking clean. Glad to see you are getting several parts sold and keeping other trucks on the road. I have subscribed but had gotten any notices. Subscribing again.

 

Doin my part to help keep these yotas on the road

The guy that bought my cab wants me to do the same thing to his truck as I did to my runner, Im also working on another 85 runner that rolled about two months ago...

IM BUSY!
