biffanyus Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) Well after costly engine overhaul. She rides again....Like almost new. Best running brat I had to date besides my very first one. Heres some minor stuff I done myself. Have pushbar and jumpseats waiting to install. Installed headrests and skidplate. Painted rims back to white and put chrome trim rings on. Repainted bed of truck and subaru plate emblem on tailgate and replaced some interior pieces as well. Heres some pics and Im sorry about the glare from the sun but its sunny as hell here in FL..

biffanyus Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 Well it cost me $1000 to have it overhauld or rebuild.. New rings, seals, water pump. Parts and labor... Im no mechanic so I paid to get things done. I was told that it was a good runner so when I got it and found out it had no compression in 2 of the cylinders and wouldnt drive faster than maybe 25 mph, I wasnt expecting to put to much $ into engine work. But I got oit from Arizona so theres no rust on the body so thats a big plus.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biffanyus Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 No you dont have to be a paying member. When you post scroll down to Additional Options and use the Attach Files box. Thats the only way I know to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moosens Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Always a good thing when you can contribute a few bucks to this board. Fund raising season elsewhere. Not a bad time to shake the tree around here either. You get a lot from this board , don't you? Toss a coin in the fountain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
