Awesome project Justin. I'll definitely keep an eye on your updates! The brakes look beautiful!

 

some pics from the for sale thread i made last year for him

 

Well after some time I finially getting some work done, pulled it out if my parents heap of a garage, cut the cage out, mounted the passenger door and towed it to my place, since being there I chopped stock from springs and put them in, painted the inside out my steering components in there ,

my buddy decided he wanted a stupid amount of money for stuff he originally going to throw in on the deal, so rotors, calipers, other odds n ends I pulled off the car and looks like she's staying a let for a while, he all of a sudden wanted an extra $300 for the front end which in that condition not worth it...

I'll post pics tonight

 

What it looked like when i got to my parents house,


i have been over there many times thinking i could get some work done one it only to find more **** on top of it... was very discouraging and half the time would kill my motivation right there

so un**** heaped it and pulled it to the driveway.


cut the cage out and wrestled the 80lb door out of the rafters on an old wood latter that just about broke while i was doing it . but got it out and onto the car


, i still have to bring it over there again and cut out a few nubs of cage i couldnt get with the sawzall and the drag seat mount he had put in there


tossed the front bumper on and towed it to my house

 

Before int paint




and after


i decided until i get to the suspention upgrade portion of my build which will likely be after it is running and driving i am chopping the springs to get it a bit lower, its just a short term solution

the pic ic only one coil cut i actually ended up doing like 1.75 coil

eventually 2in drop spindles and 1 in drop springs up front and 2in a body drop springs in the rear which on g body is a 3in drop

me standing on the bumper to get somwhat of an idea of what it will look like when the motor is in there

and sitting on it lol



Little Brother meet Big brother


this makes me giggle tho i still have the tow bar on it and with the cover on it looks like it's pitching a tent lol


i am hoping to start getting the wiring squared away this weekend, trying to find stuff me n my son can do together on it

 

Spent the last 3 days cutting out, pinning out, and re organizing the harness for the int on the 84,



All of what I have chopped off!


even got my boy jack in on the action


the mostly finished product gatta mock it in the car and see what all I can join together a little more then, wrap it

 

Nice update Justin!!!

And I like that you got your son involved!! Awesome stuff!

 

Thanks jason, been long over due getting some work done on it... really trying to get a fair amount done before that dreaded w word comes with its dreaded s word, no power, light or heat, in the garage so my time working on it is limited to daylight hours as of right now, might pick up a few led lamps so I can work later into the night,

jack is actually really pumped to help me, I have a feeling his attention span with might be a bit short but any help from his will be taken!

 

Small update will be bigger after the weekend is done but picked up my poor mans dynomat and couldnt help but lay some in!

 

Good Luck `Justin,
Enjoy reading/seeing your progress.
`Jack is getting Big & it's great that he is working with you on your project...Great bonding experience for a father & son.

Time + $ + Fun + it's yours
