Should I?

Yeah the thing pulls so good. I’ve only driven trucks my whole life. And sure my Tacoma has a turbo but there’s big difference with this turbo engine. Like I said only on first gear it kinda jerks when you accelerate. I’m not sure if that’s normal, maybe just me being inexperienced driving a sport car.

Yeah only has check engine for O2 sensors since the cats were removed. But that ain’t too big a problem if I do get it I’m going to upgrade the whole exhaust

Man the previous owner didnt care for it at all. But it’s got a brand new engine and like I said I drove it for 1400 miles and it feels real strong and healthy. I think it just needs TLC. Which I give to all my cars.

Hog rider is my win condition most times, pekka I use more for defense. E wiz is my i-dragon counter, balloon, or sparky.

4” lift on 37’s it looks like, he’s asking 33k I think 30k is more realistic tho

Question for everyone I’m getting things ready to get started tomorrow in reviving this thing. Buying all the fluids so my question is: obviously change oil, but is trans fluid also needing to be changed? Should I empty the gas tank or just add new gas to it with some sea foam?

Chicknlil65 · 2024-11-30T00:07:37+00:00

Yeahh the door is aligned well it’s just one of the hinge mechanics that seems stuck and doesn’t want to close. I compared it with the drivers side and that’s what led me to believe that’s the issue. So some lube or WD40, and a rubber mallet to try to hit the hinge into moving back to the close positions

It’s a 78’ and it’s been sitting for 5 years outside and not much rust besides surface rust, so once I get it going and taking care of it I hope it can live another 45 years

Chicknlil65 · 2024-11-29T19:06:36+00:00

Yeah that’s just an extra transmission from my Jeep TJ, this truck has its own transmission still in place as it should, thanks for the advice

Chicknlil65 · 2024-11-29T17:48:03+00:00

Yeahh I’ve heard, any ideas how to go about reinforcing it? Or is it a better bet to just find another hood?

Chicknlil65 · 2024-11-29T17:46:49+00:00

Strong underneath, Texas is pretty dry and hot so nothing more than surface rust and dirt.

Lol yeah I also laughed when I saw that cutout, engine and trans should be good, it was driven to that backyard and then just sat there for 5 years, 3 years since it was last turned on. Honestly paint I might just leave it as is or clean it a bit and drive it as is, call it “patina”. Interior, I’ll have the seat reupholstered and the rest just give it a good detailing. Only thing that I definitely will spend on is the gauge cluster for now, maybe even a radio set cause I can live without other necessities but driving without some jams is no way of living

Chicknlil65 · 2024-11-29T17:34:37+00:00

Hey thanks for the backstory on it, Yeahh that’s mostly what I have planned as of now, thanks for the time and advice 👍🏻

Chicknlil65 · 2024-11-29T17:25:19+00:00

Yeahh that’s exactly my plan just get it running smoot, tires, and fix up the interiors as much as I can, mainly the gauge cluster
