UPDATE:
Helloooo everyone! Been way too hot here to do much wrenchin' but I had a couple weeks off so I did a little brake + suspension work:
-3" blocks in the rear and drop in the front
-changed all the rear drum bits and bobs, what a pain in the ass removing old drums.
-installed the disk brake conversion from Silvermine
-pulled the water pump to discover a sandy material. head gasket fixer? i had originally planned to restore the L16 but now i really really want an SR20 <i know it's dumb>
-kyb gas a just for the front and rear
-got some new to me wheels in from Japan, need to install longer studs now
-picked up a couple NRG bucket seats, need to figure out how those are going in
Next phase is pull off the cab and bed for a real good cleaning. Theres a thick layer of nasty caked on something. Also want to clean/paint engine bay and interior of the cab and rhino liner the bed.
Oh, and I've started the YOM process back in early August and still waiting on a response.
Hmm, I am having trouble posting images. If you're interested I've started an Instagram page for this project. It's @the_10mm there too.
