those headlights need help. lol
I cannot wait to do mine.

 

I could do that. I just need to get a circle jig to get those straight circles. I would also need to get a router.
They next box will lay flat with 4 8" subs

 

I think the headlights are sexy....but it looks horrible with the stock grill, lol.

That's the only "newer " truck I've seen with a round light conversion, so I thought I would share.

I love the old vw golf with the dual roundies... is this what your going for, or bmw style? http://www.netcarshow.com/volkswagen/1983-golf_ii_gti/1600x1200/wallpaper_10.htm

 

thats gunna be nice!

 

Okay YOguyDA I will let you know. I am taking the side grills from an E34 and the lights. unfortunately the A/C thing is in the way. I might see what a shop would do and charge. So I made a very rough draft mock up of how I would like the front end to look.

 

So I plasti dipped my dash pieces black. Came out looking nice. Some black magic makes it look fresh. I guess I will post some pics. Finally bought a tach but it looks ****ty. I want to lower the front more but I am really concerned about scraping.

 

Looking good bro! You gotta hit me up on one of my days off.

 

Ok so to keep up to date with my build I have purchased new brakes and a bunch of accessories. I am going to rebuild the engine do to the timing chain guide and the oil pump. I took off the throttle body and the EFI and a gunked up sensor.

 

I also noticed this not connected to anything. Have any ideas?

 

Looks like a ground wire

 

Its a ground wire. It goes on the stud about 3 inches from where it sits in your picture that bolts the two halves of the intake together.

 

ok cool. I wonder what it was effecting when it was not connected.

 

So I decided to buy a brand new 22re.
Removed the old and started assembling all the old parts on the new engine. remanufactured fuel injectors. brand new clutch kit. new water pump. Pacesetter headers. new spark plugs. Everything all cleaned up.

 

Pics..

 

Pace setter headers did not fit. The torsion bar was in the way. It would work if it was bagged. Old headers back on. What type of exhaust should I get. Would like a low growl not a tin can. Plus not obnoxiously loud since I do work third shift and don't need to wake the neighbors. I am thinking flowmaster 50 series. I don't know.

 

So everyone the new engine is running great. Well besides this sound. It happens when I first start her up and before it is at temp when I rev her up around 2500RPM. Here are some videos of the sound. hopefully someone might know a thing or two.
this is on start up
