This car cost me $500, I sold the wheels for $200.
Had to rollback it home. Tires had camber wear down to steel.
Replaced some stuff:
(In no particular order)

Radiator
timing belt &Idler/tensioner
waterpump
thermostat
both fans
brake pads
alternator
rear upper control arms
2g manifold
rear hatch
hood
Full exhaust
some other stuff...

Of that list, all I had to purchase was the waterpump and thermostat ($45). All other stuff came from my stash, or my buddies stashes.
I replaced the hood because the one that was on it was MINT. I had a dented up spare so I threw that on.

Started on a light bar:

Yes those are old sockets welded to the A pillar.(dilligaf)

So at this point I got my bike clamps bolted through the roof,(mostly) truck bed coated body, and some old jeep wheels to hold it up.

Okay time for wheels. I wanted some tough looking ish, but this is a budget build, haters.
pictured:

@$250/ I'd have a better chance at starting a boy band than having these on my $500 beater.

Instead:

Meh' **Insert "close enough" rage

Same truck bed coated treatment with a white topcoat.
Texture=tough. Deal with it.
TCI-$120

215/70/15's
Firestone Winterforce
$319 all four, installed.

Steel strip welded to the roof to spread the load of the bikes. Drilled for the weightlessnesss.

Hum, lets see
Rear wiper delete, reverse fog light, permanent tow strap, custom cut mudflaps..check

This was about the time I replaced the exhaust.
3" stainless turboback using re-bar for custom bent hangers.
No off the shelf muffler could contain all 180 horsepowers so I had to build one..
Okay, it's because this is a beater, skillz to save (dollar)billz

LTR450 muffler, I hate quads. I don't even know how I acquired this.

Now you KNOW it's fast, yep no question:

Weight reduction, for the altitudes:

Battery relocated to trunk as well..

Also, replaced stock washer pump with a fuel pump, and a pressure washer nozzle.

One sweep

Jesus enough already, lets get it dirty!!!

Still have a few things I want to do.
Full skid plate
Top mount intercooler
Off road lights

Enjoy

bl@ckvr4 · 01-05-2012, 02:01 PM

It's ridiculous. It's preposterous. It's fantastic!

But damn, that car looked pretty clean before you ripped into it.

81rabbitd · 01-05-2012, 02:06 PM

Lol, that was the "good" side (despite still being rusty). That picture is deceiving haha.

15psi88 · 01-05-2012, 02:34 PM

It had to be done. I already have a very big 1g resto project. Even bigger Conquest project, and a Gvr4. This ain't my first time around the block, I need something different.

Teku18 · 01-05-2012, 04:51 PM

Best DSM thread ever.

15psi88 · 01-05-2012, 10:25 PM

lol?

But for serious, PO did the super sweet headliner delete. I'm okay with it, but it was omgloud. Fixed a lot of the tin roof sound.

itwillboost · 01-05-2012, 10:32 PM

Pretty sweet/cool build.

daewoo · 01-05-2012, 10:36 PM
