88pioneer Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 The time has come to start my second build thread. I finally decided my 88 had way too much rust to fix to even be worth it. I found an 87 swb 4.0 5spd 2wd with a blown head. I picked it up for $250 bucks and its virtually rust free besides a few holes in the driver side floor. My plans are to pull my entire drive train from my 88 and swap it into the 87, then when the lift comes, i will swap in the front axle and do the 4x4 conversion, then more from there.
88pioneer Posted October 11, 2009 Author Posted October 11, 2009 Pulled the rear tires off today to put some new rear shocks on and decided to break out the rustoleum to try an keep the rust away as long as possible. Thinks it looks pretty good.
88pioneer Posted October 26, 2009 Author Posted October 26, 2009 Got the front shocks, took a little longer since the old shocks wanted to be difficult. Motor should be comin out next week sometime then she'll be on the road
88pioneer Posted November 7, 2009 Author Posted November 7, 2009 Did a test fit of the bucket seats today, fit great, now i just need to fix my floor and replace 3 seat studs and they'll be in for good. Thanks to Paul (mfpdm) for the seats, there in awesome shape and look brand new.
mfpdm Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Always happy to help a member out. They look great. :thumbsup: :cheers:
88pioneer Posted November 9, 2009 Author Posted November 9, 2009 Thanks paul, i'll definitley come back to you for more parts if you've got what i'm looking for :cheers:
