metalmonkey47 Posted November 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Gonna start scouring the yards for BMW projectors soon, single side draft Weber, maybe a cam, and some other small stuff. Just gotta prioritize. 1 Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 uuum i think you got a fair price i had my drive line lengthened for my dogleg swap for 130 but i brought them the old one told them how much longer i needed it and then brought them a driveline from a ford econoline van to use as material probably cost you so much cause they had to supply the material Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Looks great going to one color. I know it's probably been mentioned, but what's the lip off of? Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted November 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Bonvo, they charged me $41 per universal joint! Better last forever for that price :ninja: Redeye, the lip is off of an '85 S10 :thumbup: I trimmed it a few inches on each side and drilled small holes in the bottom of the fenders to slide hardware through.

metalmonkey47 Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Been brainstorming over the last week I've been sick. I THINK when It goes in for paint I may change the color around.. it's going to be a 2 part Urethane. Saw it in the Summit Racing catalog. Acid rain gold metallic. Dunno. Too early to decide. Anyways, random old ass picture from wayyyy months back. _DSC0143 by metalmonkey47, on Flickr Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Got my dirty little hands on a set of Recaro's from a Suzuki Swift GTI from a guy at work :thumbup: Gotta go look at them and get some pics, but I'll finally have some bitchin seats! Also found a guy selling some new ZG flares locally for $50 :thumbup: May go get them the same trip and order my new, wider tires! Quote Link to comment

metalmonkey47 Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Yeah, but it looks so damn close :thumbup: I thought about getting some door magnets made to match the Pizza Planet trucks :fu: 1 Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Also never really uploaded an exhaust clip vid when I got it all put together, so here you go. I have a leaky header, so it sneezes a little in the vid. Just haven't had time to fix that. Probably has a lot to do with why I'm loosing some torque and mid range power. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9CPzQmYOIw Quote Link to comment

awk620 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Found this browsing through an antique mall today. So I made a new shifter out of it. The base has a standard-metric thread adapter, so all I had to do to change from the M10x1.50 in the adapter to the M8x1.25 shifter is insert a heli-coil! :thumbup: I'll post pics mounted tomorrow. if you ever want to sell that shifter i will buy it Quote Link to comment
jon521 Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 haha i should post this in the sightings thread, but i thought here would be better. haha super random but i had a dream last night that you drove your 620 over here to oregon, and i know it was yours because you had that huge ass canopy on it haha. i remember asking if you were moving here and you said no, just setting up a shop to work on datsuns when your over here on the west coast. i also remember wanting to put your s10 from lip on my truck to see what it would look like, but thats all i remember haha. super fuckin random.

I wouldn't mind having a shop, but lack of money/experience would keep me out of the business. Plus, I couldn't take those east coast winters :poke: Went with Master_o_turbonics to get some stuff for his truck, and he got me this nice little close ratio ZX 5 speed :thumbup: We cleaned it up, and stuffed it into my truck. The old 4 speed was on it's way out. Lots of input shaft play, and leaking like a sonovabitch. I cleaned it up a bit while he pulled the 4-speed out. Flipped the transmission over, and dumped about a quart of water out followed by some purple mess. :geek: (Royal Purple gear oil I guess?) We flushed it out and it came out pretty clean. Put it back together, and voila! Monkey has overdrive :devil: Althouth, the reverse gear is making a hell of a noise, and popping out of gear, so this one will be rebuilt/replaced soon. (watch for updates to his thread in a few minuets!) _DSC0141 by metalmonkey47, on Flickr The NEW 5 speed, after cleaning it up :thumbup: _DSC0145 by metalmonkey47, on Flickr And the old worn out, leaking 4 speed! _DSC0146 by metalmonkey47, on Flickr Quote Link to comment
