Hello newbie from GA USA Dirty South

Post by toyota1515 » Thu Aug 15, 2013 7:05 am

Hi all, a newbie from Mableton GA USA, hope to have fun and share what i can with the community!

My project will be a low budget play project, no specific intention with it other than have fun on the weekends, by the way not the usual build.

here is what i start with, a little banged out flop over 87 Sammi, rust free, The body is lifted from the chassis 3 inches, and the axles under leafs already, so body will be back down on the factory place and the rear axle will be back over the leafs but rear shackles will be extended slightly, (I dont want it so high in the ass), and 15x8 wheels will be on it with 31x10.5 mud tires on it!

Image


Here after some body hammer straightened elbow grease, (yeah, the windshield frame need to be replaced)

Image

Eventually a Toyota 3TC engine swap will be in the agenda, but it will be one of the last thing in the agenda. (here one of my customers 3TC i build)
(CLICK ON THE PICTURE)

Image



I want it to look like this one, (stance wise)

here it is after removing the 3 inch body lift and removing the rocker trim brackets and fender flare brackets, straightening the body a little with the hammer and dolly plus body lift removed.

Next, wheels and tires, i am going with 15x8 steel wheels and 31x10.5 Product Image
Nankang Mudstar tires, then check if i need to lower it a little more or leave it like that.
