hah no ****

 

no kidding..that was the first meet i ever went to also lol

 

Damnit man pure sex cant wait to see her running!

 

spent 300$ on dealer parts and feel like it got me no where. ha.

i didnt get much chance to work on it at all this weekend or week. work was a little crazy

 

I guess my seats got shipped to the wrong person? Thanks Twisted Stitch! ha

Anyway they claim another set is getting sent today. I have been working on the interior when I get the chance. I finally pulled out all of the tar like stuff from the floor, cut out some more floor and welded in some holes. I have one more big hole to plate shut then I can start putting tube in the interior. I should take some pictures but I just forget when I am out there.

 

Inner cage and exo cage?

 

its just enough to mount the belts and seats. nothing more.

 

Oh ok. Got it. What are the other plans for the interior?

 

seats, center console, shifter setup and finish the gauges. Then paint everything and it will be good for now. haha

 

once all that is put in.....will u be able to drive it?

 

no not really.

needs radiator
exhaust
driveshafts
transmission rebuild
oil pressure mount
8 groove pulley
intake
wiring finished
heater box
brake calipers
master cylinder
power steering lines
power steering pump
oil dip stick
tuned pcm
d60 locker
scaled
new coil springs
fuel lines
fuel pump
fuel filter

im sure there are another 50 things i cant think of

 

Now that's a pretty solid list! Ouch! Makes my current project seem tiny... ha!

 

this project is wearing me out with no end in sight.

 

You need black head lights again. Now that you have no silver on it. the headlights stick out like a sore thumb lol.

 

I know the feeling, it will be worth it in the end though.

 

The wheels are still silver, at least the part you can see lol

 

sounds like the ranger will be keeping you busy that's for sure!

 

i hope so! thanks for the encouragement. i need it. lol


oh yeah without a doubt. I'm regearing a F150 this weekend so I wont have any time to work on it this weekend.

 

I finished the winch mount the other day.



For the most time I have been working on the interior. I wish I wouldnt have ever installed Dynamat, that stuff is horrible to remove. The factory sound matting stuff was bad enough. Waiting on my seats

 

Why are you removing it all?

 

bedliner the floor?

that winch looks great all tucked in there

 

So I can weld where I need to and then repaint everything once its all in. I will probably just linex the whole thing.

 

Ah thats what I figured. Have fun with that lol

 

Lately nothing has been what I would call 'fun' haha

I enjoy building suspensions and frames over little details like interiors and engine wiring.

 

I think what you need to do is stop. Then take a step back and look at what you're actually building as a whole and what it will be when it's done. And then reevaluate weather or not all the the little work will be worth it lol. I think the choice will be clear
