banzai510(hainz) Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 oh I like the Ratsun truck better Looks perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!except the blue on rad Perfect surface rust Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 ya, the rad needs a fresh coat of black, there is a huge hole in the drivers side floor board, the breaks barely work, and the top end needs an adjustment bad. so those are all on my list of to do's before my dad gets to DD it Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 it was dark before i finally got to taking pics, my parents minivan decided to blow a thermostsat and act like the headgaskets were toast so i had to tear into it before i could molest this new beauty this thing is strait! love the old school rims and hub cap with the small white wall, it matches my dads personality IMO here is one of the major issues more pics and update in a week or so when my garage finaly clears up of all the other projects ive seemed to acquire Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 pulled my dads new truck and my brother new truck into the garage on sunday for a good looking over/oil change ya so maybe i missed an issue, maybe the battery should have fallen out oh well, garden hose breather hose has to go adjusted the valves, check the breaks and ordered parts, started to check all the basics and give it new fluids so i know its been done, then....... This is what came out of my dads rad, ya that's right it's brown, and thick, and nasty, and if i EVER hear of some one putting stop leak in their cooling systems I'm personally gunna apply powder and slap the shit out of em. The rad is shot but not due to the "additives", and the system needs flushed........ Link to comment
izzo Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 my 620 had that same issue, only it was WAY worse. I just used a temp patch and patched it. Measured best I could, cut up a 720 door, bent and tacked it into place. Not done right, but ratsun style fix for the time being. Then at least my battery wasn't about to drop out and get ran over.
