Good luck jason! Hope all goes well!

 

Check out my DIY on posting photos, in my sig below.

Nice work!

 

Ok, early start's been rollin for HOURS, ........as the mobile phone commercial asks, ..>"WHERE YOU AT?" Lol. Jk, BEST WISHES, Homie! Hope you get LOTS done.

 

OK spent as much of the day in the shop as I could, I didn't get to spend all day in there becouse I completely for got my fly wheel needed touched up so a couple hours were spent trying to get that done machine shop says maybe tomorrow, I also notice my oil pump housing seal got pinched on install really mad at myself about that A becouse it happened B because I spent a good deal of the trying to find one ended up ordering it should be here tomorrow as well. Frustrated becouse these set backs are mine own fault just not paying attention. Anyway I took a few picks my messed up seal and a few other things, and forgot the camera out there and now its raining so if I can talk the boy in to going out to get it "no I wont float away I'm just lazy" I will post up some pics.

 

Hahaha, "No I wont float away, i'm just lazy", lol...

Way to keep at it anyhow! Can't wait for your 'YEHAWWWWWWWW' (asap?), when you complete the work at hand, slap that clutch in and VOILA, get that sucker in there! lol.

 

Flywheel is done headed to pick it up now. Want to mention I looked at my old clutch yesterday and noticed it had a sticker on it that said remanufactured first I didn't know a clutch could be rebuilt second this thing is wore out for a vehicle with a little over 200,000 MLS that seemed kinda odd to somebody was really hard on this thing before I got it is all I can say.

 

Glad to hear you are at home in the shop getting stuff done Jason

 

Thanks rob hope all is good with you

 

Can't wait for the update, today, buddy! GREAT talking to ya, as usual! Just be patient, .... and I KNOW you'll have some trouble free start up action, ya know?

 

ok so I got quite a bit done today but first.

the oil pump housing seal that i pinched while installing not a good pic but I wanted to mention that the seal didnt seem to fit right like it was to big, the one from napa seemed to fit much better.

my electric fan mounted to freshened up rad,

ok on to todays progress started the day doing some running picked up flywheel oil pump o ring rear main,
got the oil pump back together and took the engine off the stand and did the rear main put it back on the stand and finished up the oil pan and a few other odds and ends,

pulled it back off the stand and bolted up the flywheel then the clutch assembly

bolted upthe tranny

and then a little while later



everything went pretty smooth going back in except the motor mount the head on the bolt from the bolted mounts changed things just enough to be dificult but a little wiggling and a lot of cursing it finaly droped into place.
spent some time hooking a few things back up[thanks so much terry] got a ways to go yet but if all goes well should be able to try and start her tomorow.
thanks for checking in guys.

 

holy curseword!!

that looks phenomenal!!!...awesome too.

love the detail work .......good job indeed.

seems like our projects are drawing to a close at the same time....we won't be ready for a week or so but may get the motor poked in this weekend if all goes well.

 

thanks jerry Im trying realy hard to make this a real clean build somtimes I think I have gotten carried away ya know it just gets to the point were how much is enough.

 

Its a toyota Jason! We never know why we put so much time and effort into the rigs, but 2 things we all know for sure:

1.) No other trucks are worth putting this much work into, and
2.) We'll never be done with our project trucks but thats a good thing

Nice colors man!

 

HOLY CRAPOLI, JASON! I wish I was there to help slap that sucker in! I thought we were lookin at another day, maybe! ...GREAT NEWS!

Looks FANTASTIC!

 

That is one of the moments you get to live for, just seeing the motor back in its home. Hope all goes well before you have to leave out. I will be around til about 6 tonite if anything comes up. Got my fingers crossed for you.

 

Wow Jason you are making some progress, the motor and engine compartment look great! Fingers crossed it runs as good as it looks

 

Thanks mark I really wish you were here as well but since that's not possible I will just have to hound You on the phone LOL, thanks Terry not sure what time I will be able to get started today got some business to tend to that will probably take most of the day but I'm gonna try and get out there and try to something done I really appreciate your help yesterday it definitely got me further than I would have on my own, rob thanks for the
kind words I have been thinking the same thing about running as good as it looks LOL, still hoping to find out before I head back out. If I get anything done today I will post it up later hope you guys have a good day.

 

IT RUNS WOOOOOOOOHHHHOOOOOOOO, still have a lot to hook up and a few things to redo but so far no major bugs except the starter not wanting to engage I put it on new just a few days before I quit driveing it and cant figure why its acting up but it has a life time waranty so if it keeps it up I will swap it out. few oil leaks but they are up high and I think I have found them I will try and get a vid made befor I head back to work if I can get the exaust quieted down.





this is a little progect my son was dieing to see get started so I told him last night to go start he did a really good job cutting it as far as straight lines etc Im proud of him.

 

Nice half top! Think I've seen one a lot like that somewhere...just can't remember...hm...

Maybe I've started a trend! The half tops look good on these runners! Kinda wish I had the windows on mine like you do jason. Glad to hear you got her fired up though!

 

Thanks moze the half top has actually been in the plans for a while you just beat me to it LOL. Mine still wouldn't be started if it wasn't for my kid haha. Really glad to have it running even if I still have a ways to go.
