Anyways. Finished the wiring for the fan.

Got some plates to start my tube fenders. Only did one side before the cops showed up.

Not much work done today. Need a new liner for the welder to finish the seats and other things.

Trying to see where I want the 4 in 1 tach.

And I can't move the shift rail for the 205. The one closest to the output. Any ideas.

Looking from the transfer output to the rear

Well Got all the things for the exhaust. Need to fix a few leaks in the radiator. I still am having all kinds of problems with the harness. The fuel pump is getting juice but I still have no spark. The distributor isn't getting any juice. I tried cranking the motor and seeing if there was something but nope. i'm going to trace the wires down to the computer and see what I have.

Anyone have any ideas?

some more updates of this turd. Never made the event. The damn harness I couldn't figure it out. Pulled the damn thing off. Going to go with another harness. So for the time being I put an intake and carb on I had laying around. Still couldn't get it going to make it out. Tranny problems. Faulty brake lines. I realized at 1am on Saturday morning I was not going to make it. But it's mostly done. Just a few more things but it runs and drives now.

Finished up the rear driveshaft

Front steering and junk done

shifters. Ended up going with a offroad design 203-205 shifter

one side of the exhaust

part of the dash thats missing things.

looks pretty nice. I'm thinking of doing something like that.

lizard lips · Nov 16, 2008

did some more work over the weekend. Pulled the motor and tranny.The tranny didn't have 3rd gear.

Was going to put the other tranny I had in and broke the ears off. Looks like the case was cracked.

here's a shot of the motor mount thing. Which blow in my opinion.

And another shot of the steering

I didn't really do anything on this this. I flexed it to see if I was going to have any problems with anything.

Here's the final approach angle.

Some flex pictures.

The coil poped out. I need some coil retainers so I will be redoing the rear coil buckets.

Very sweet rig. makes me wish I wuldve kept my one ton yj. only thing I see might need more bracing is the rear upper coilover mounts needing to have a brace up to the cage down bars that the cross brace is attached to. looks great though.
