fryenretards Posted November 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) iv been keeping busy on the projects just havent been posting also iv been building a bar heres a couple pictures and pretty much finished ill upload more photos of the room when i get a little farther. motor out of the red truck getting ready to put it in after alot of fighting it finally went in turns out the a dowel on the bottom driver side corner. i didnt notice that the motor still had the dowel in and so did the transmission so a big hammer and a screwdriver solved that problem lol its coming along getting ready to start it soon Edited November 21, 2009 by fryenretards Quote Link to comment
fryenretards Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) the exhaust that i have with no smog stuff was proving to be a pain to get off so out came the grinder and viola i decided to put header wrap on my manifold probly not necessary at all but i dont like the fact that the intake and exhaust are so close together and only have that dinky little shield so i did something about it i got the intake and exhaust put on and it looks alot better then on went the carb and all kinds of little things its coming along now i just have to find my negative battery cable i lost it somewhere?

fryenretards Posted July 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 so i know i havent been posting for a while but thats because i dont really have internet to play around on right now i have a bunch of pictures of what i've been doing ill be uploading in the next couple days. one thing im proud of is i made a volvo radio look stock in my truck so i have fm so now i can run the adapter that plugs in line with the antenna so i can play anything with a headphone jack through my stock looking stereo Quote Link to comment
fryenretards Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 ok so ive been doing all kinds of stuff i didnt take pictures of everything but ill fill in the blanks first up was work on the front brakes and shocks the old hardware looked good so i just replaced the shoes drums and wheel cylinders. the driverside brake hose broke so i had to get another one ill probly swap out the passenger side and rear later engine bays all cleaned up now for the most part i cleaned up the vinyl floor and vacumed the hell out of everything lol this is before and after with super clean (im a fan) some shots of the interior my bench has a singal rip in it on the driver side there's a little bit of a gap so i dont know if it can be repaired i hope so it looks badass lol i finally mounted my coors light beer wolf shift knob turned out badass and doesnt hit anything. not bad for eyeballin it lol swapped out my steering wheel for one off a 72 not knowing that the center horn buttons are different. oops, o well still looks better anyways. old one new one fixed the driver side door gap now it shuts perfect one finger mounted and balanced my new tires off a mazda miata lol. old lady said she didnt want them anymore pile o' tires slightly used 5 bucks lol lowering blocks yay taking off the torsion bars i marked the wehre they were at so i could be consistant side to side lol Quote Link to comment
fryenretards Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 another picture just because i ended up moving them 2 splines down and loosening the bolts in comparison to where it was originally and the adjusting from there for level next up i found a 521 at pick n pull and scored now i have a hood latch cable lol no more screw driver through the grill for me please also got some tailight wiring harness off it some dude thought his alternator was bad so i sold him a new one. i tested his old one works just fine score one gm 1 wire high output alternator for me but this is going on later an old jerry can i got for road trips i didnt like where the hazard switch was so i moved it to where the manual choke was had to extend my wires a bit o ya i got a mirror from u pull it too lol ill post up more tommorow Quote Link to comment
fryenretards Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 i think the 4 ways look better in there new home last thing i have pictures for right now is the stereo the original one was only fm but it worked unfortunatly that wouldn't work for what i want to do, i wanted to hook up an adapter that goes in line one side in the antenna port on the stereo and the other side comes from then just set a station and plug something into the headphone jack this was a great cheap alternative ($10) stereo king on 82nd. instead of getting mine all redone internally. so a couple trips to u pull it i found a perfect donor out of an old volvo lol original on top volvo on bottom i took the old wiring harnes off the volvo and updated some connectors the cool things was the faceplate was almost exactly the same size and the buttons were alittle bigger so some filing was in order cut the old faceplate out glued the "new" one in the buttons were to tall too so i had to cut them down and done tucked everything up out of the way and ran the headphone jack wire into the glove box looks good Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 nice work. what is super clean and where do you get it? i have the same floor mat. Quote Link to comment
raggmann Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Castrol Super Clean is available at most auto parts stores. It's a great ce-greaser and works real good cleaning the bbq Quote Link to comment
fryenretards Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 ya i work at baxters so i just got it from there i used it to clean cat poop off my garage floor too lol it works on just about anything and its bio degradable. for all those people who like simple green, its basically the same stuff just super clean is better lol. in my opinion Quote Link to comment

fryenretards Posted November 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 so the rear brakes are done i'd post pictures but they just look the same as the front for the most part. took it on a test drive and the transmission is bad 3rd is going out and 4th makes a sweet noise now im on the hunt for a cheap 4speed or dogleg 5 i need something that'll go right in i have things to trade if anyone is interested i have a long nose 5 speed a turbo 350 trans a l16 with most likely a timing cover that is corroded or a blown head gasket and a 4 speed thats bad lol good for a core or scrap i sappose and obviously cash but i dont want to dump a bunch of money into a tranny swap im putting a ka in it sooner then later so this is just so i can cruz it in the meantime Quote Link to comment
