you are seriously my hero, as of now.

 

he didnt invent the paint pen. he just bought it.

 

how did you go about cleaning under the hood. Really need to do it to mine.

 

Actually I did, and the Internet....

 

I just got some rags and went to work, I used a product called PowerBright, It is some pretty amazing stuff, it is the best vinyl, upholstery, plastic, and overall multi purpose cleaning product i have ever used. It is some good stuff, The company i work for sells it, it is the only place i know of where to get it. It is super safe to. One cool thing is that they actually have a 20r engine bay on their flyer.

It is what i used for the seat of the pick up

this is the interior of my wife's car before


after:


Sorry for the shameless advertising

 

Hey guys whats up? Still no internets So my lux has been put on the back burner for a bit to work on my wifes' car. 0500 Mechanics in rexburg installed a lowmiles import engine with this oil pan !


The plug Below is what they called a "Permanent fix". But you would think they would know that oil and gas eat up rubber. My wife came to pick me up and i saw a huge puddle under her car.

the rubber weakened enough and sprung a leak. And of course they took no responsibility for it and said I was SOL, I guess that's what you get for going to a NAPA mechanic shop. Never go to 0500 Mechanics!!!!

grrrrrr Anyways I finally got around to putting on the sticker that nvrenufedge gave to me at one of the meets we went to (Thanks Bro!)

I got to represent!



The old girl got some new shoes to! With white stripes of course


I am currently getting all of the parts together to redo all of my brake system.
Here is the list:
New Pads
rotors
hoses
calipers
shoes
wheel cylinders
master cylinder

 

looks good


the white walls, rings, and caps look factory, thats awesome

please drop it now

 

i used testors model paint on my dash and a number 0 or 00 brush. worked good.

 

It's lookin good. Buy it's sitting about 6" too high.

 

I want to drop it 2 inches in the front and 3 in the rear.

My question is: What is the Safest way to drop it?

What kinda shocks should i get?

where should i get drop blocks?

 

Blocks from autozone work fine on mine, i heated the front springs but i heard cutting them is the best

 

trucks looking good i got my blocks at autozone for like 30 bucks and cut about 2.5 coils off the springs up front rides good but has a little bounce on good bumps but i also hit my fender wells sometimes

 

i took about 3-1/8 turns off my coils. lol. stock replacement front shocks. backs i havent replaced yet. i need to. its bouncy-er than id like. might order those up today when im getting parts.

 

I really really do not want any rub, you think that 2 coils even would avoid this?

 

Start at 1 coil and then decide if you need more. When you cut coils remember once it is cut you can't fix it. So start slow and don't just chop off 2 or 3 coils because someone says that is what they did..

 

It's what I did. 1 did nothing. 2 wasn't much. 3 was perfect. But I had differnt goals. I wanted to be as low as possible.

 

Ok guys I have a few updates nothing big, but pretty cool. I need some help on some things though.

first the updates:

I found this grille badge on a pickup, yes, i know the 20r is 2.2 and not 2.3 but its close enough right?


I was sick of my battery not being buckled in, so I improvised

I would say it borderlines redneck and rat rod.


now for the questions:
can i remove the parts and plug them?:





this waterline bypass


I would really appropriate any help you guys can provide.

thanks for looking

 

yes on everything cept....

the gold thing with the 2 white wires going to either side of it




with the water passages, you can block most of em off, but you need to setup the heater core so that 1 line comes off the back of the timing cover (or the extra lower rad fitting if you have that) and the other comes off the center intake coolant passage between #2 n 3 intake port.



like so

 

Christmas in September....... what a good feeling.....now i am just waiting on brake lines and rotors......
