    eighty D _I was just scanning local craigslists under turbo toyota and BAM there it was. Meant to be I guess. Might be a huge nightmare though.

    Not the cost of suspension work BTW. I was well aware of the cost of high quality suspension and related fab work. Its the overall build cost.

    Sold the turbo engine, working on putting a 22r/20r hybrid together now. Keep it simple. I like the simplicity of a carb and points. On another note----------If anyone likes the RIMS in the pictures above I have had a change of heart on those also. Let me know if you are interested

    Now that MX season is winding down Ill have more time to get back on the 76. I chose a different wheel/tire combo which includes stock hubcaps. Ill get a few more engine and chassis pictures in the next few months. Ill measure that ball joint relocation too for the dude that inquired.

    Little by Little. Scored some Option Racing halo/projector headlights from a 90's Beemer at the local junk yard. should look pretty spiffy on the 76. Getting everything put into place under the box, still need to make a battery box and figure out where to run the exhaust.

    Getting the engine put back together too. The 22R motor I was going to use for a hybrid setup was an 86 block(to new) so just decided to redo the original 20R

    Rims are 17" current model ford explorer. I added some spring tabs on the rims to hold my stock caps. Engine is back together now-Ill post a couple pictures soon. Frame is getting a couple more tweeks before I paint it. It took me about 12 hours of fabricating to get the halo/projection headlights to fit and function. Thanks for the comments and support
