- Wed Jul 03, 2013 7:34 pm #333814 well not a lot has been happening since I been working a lot to save up for some parts, still working on the wiring I decided im going all out and going to pull every harness and make it look good while double checking all the harnesses to make sure I have no electrical gremlins, still haven't got to brakes or suspension, gunna save some more money BUT I did order some black housing lights, amber corners and 50/50 red clear tails, for about 160 shipped all together, so that takes care of the shitty painted headlights and corners as well as the cracked and leaking tails, hopefully on my 3 days off this weekend I can get some more wiring done, but its been 100+ degrees for the last 5 days here, so its hard to motivate myself to be in a tiny garage with no ac lol. thanks for looking and I will post some pics of the stuff when I get it, heres a link if anyones curious to see what I got.

- Sat Jul 13, 2013 9:30 pm #334183 decided to finish swapping in the new radiator hoses and thermostat today

Image

probably going to replace this soon as well

Image

and this is the next thing im buying unless I can find a good radiator.fan combo for a decent price. and yes that's supposed to be the wires that go to the fan for the plug, but alas...it had no plug..didn't even realize that till now...
Image

still workin on this to get it just right

Image

a shot of getting things ready to clean and stuff.

Image

finally also got the drivers side stripped except the door panel.

Image

overall coming along nicely hope to start doing suspension brake work soon after I sort the radiator and fan issue. thanks for looking!
