Back from the Dead


Recommended Posts

Well I have not posted in a while life has been pretty hectic. I decided i am going to put my 77 KC back to Daily driver status, before it was going to get bagged and completely redone. Alas i do not have the time or feasible money to do that. Plus after the debacle that came of the truck club i was in i have not been to motivated to work on my truck.

 

Now with my new job i need something more reliable so I am possibly buying a Audi S4, but until then I am going to drive my truck. I am debating selling my 510s but have not decided if I am or not.

 

here is the old thread with the original plans and some progress. Old Thread

 

Over the last couple of weeks i finally have my small C-notch in the frame and the motor is basically back together. I will try to get some updated pics soon.

How did you manage to get RELIABLE and AUDI in the same sentence. :rofl: Make sure you buy a good pair of walking shoes to keep in the car. :fu:

Dude the truck looks awesome! I've always liked that rig!

 

 

P.S. Don't sell your dimes!

 

 

yes sell your 510s

 

 

Main reason i might sell my Dimes is, I am not doing them justice. I have neither the time or money to complete them the way i want and i am sure someone else will appreciate them, and do them justice. I really do not want to get rid of them but i have to be "Logical". I am kinda tired of daily driving my projects, it really Hinders what you can get done at one time and reliability. This is not one of the "baby forces sell" excuse everyone uses. This is simply me not being able to complete them and not wanting them to Waste away.
