June 18, 200619 yr dayum dude!!!! that thing is monsterous for a 4" lift. I gotta ask, how bad do those big tires hurt ur gearing? o ya, another question, how much clearance is under you're oil pan? it looks like 15" to me... :-D

June 20, 200619 yr nice! got my 6 bolt 14" nissans and need tires to go with it. not to mention a d/r and a lift. the rims were free though. now all i need is some time, effort and money.
June 26, 200619 yr Finally lifted, but did you get it running yet? What is the latest? I know i am not the only one interested.
June 26, 200619 yr DAMN DUDE ....THAT THING IS WACKY LOOKIN........STILL THO IT SHOULD BE A WHEELIN MACHINE!!! still tho, thats got to hurt some power/torque on ur little soob
June 27, 200619 yr Author yeh, i had a minor set back, the clutch i put in it was sliipin to the point i could put in in first with the e-brake and it wouln't die! I got the new clutch in it and drove it yesterday, not sure if it's just a heathy motor or the new pistons or the port and polish, but it acculy does better than my last carbed car, and it was stock. I should be ready for paint by tomarrow, have alot of wiring to do yet, the ecu came out yesterday and cliped alot of unused plugs onder the hood and dash. I'll keep you guys posted with pics as cool stuff happens. ~CHIM~
August 31, 200619 yr Author well, needless to say i have been slacking a little bit..............ok ALOT, i finally finished filling in holes and got paint on it. Got all of my wireing done, All of my accessorys work now, Dual battery isolator is set up. And my switchboard, painted and engraved:headbang: . I drove it from my parents place back home about 3o miles, and discovered that i have a damn blown head gasket, During the process of driving it back from my budy's shop it got hot, had no cooling fan but figured i would be moving to a quick point and didn't need it, that was before i knew the clutch was slipping and counln't break 25mph. Getting the new gaskets in tomarrow tho. So, things left to do? 1.Getting the LSD put in the rear 2.Rear disk breaks installed 3.the CB 4.black 14 inch wheels and new tires Later on 1.tube bumpers all around 2.skid plates 3.roof basket 4...................i'm sure i'll think of more:grin: . ~CHIM~
August 31, 200619 yr DUDE, nice job its looking good. i need to get my BUTT in gear and get my 86 wgn done, i'm going to do a camo paint job on it but im not sure if i want to go with something like yours or a desert camo. that looks sweet. can't wait to see when its done.
August 31, 200619 yr Author Sweeet. One thing needed: tinted windows. Ahh, gonna have to do it now, i am also having the subaru emblem etched into the back window, still trazparent but there.
August 31, 200619 yr Reminds me of austins old tow truck lighted wagon. The camo looks pretty good, i really like the switch panel.
October 29, 200619 yr Author well, i finally have it on the road, just in time for hunting season. Added the limited slip, helps more than i thought it would, just a few updated pics, but still more work to be done. ~CHIM~
