working even more on other stuff. I been trying to raise funds to make it to this years mitsu shootout. unfortunately I dont think Im gonna come up with the cash to be able to drive my mitsu, but I may still be able to go.

 

well shootout fell through,which means thats even more time wasted instead of on the jeep

 

sold the rear end, and my price is officially down to $2090!!!

I have officially made money off the parts jeep.
little break down. on the parts I kept
free engine, trans, tcase, driveshafts, full leather interior, full set of wheels/tires, over head console, various odds+ends
so I got all that, and now anything else I sell is pure profit....plus since this is a running total, that means that I actually started to profit along time ago, because I have spent a lot of money on new stuff; radio, valve cover, catchcan, AEM, paint, etc.

now this looks great when you only look at it that way, but to be fair, I have a good amount of time in it, and have had to store 2 jeeps for almost a year now. so im not really making a profit, just kind being slightly compensated.

 

got some of that long standing pending money.

build total is $1740! I had more than that just getting the jeep to my house, and that was even pretty cheap...Im working on having a free jeep.

 

Sub-2K? that's pretty sweet, but when do we get to see this thing in action?

Great build so far just dying for some more pics!

 

yea, I have just been working on my financial situation this week. I want it to drive way more than you guys, trust me.

 

currently working on the heep. got the CCVs put in, and the catch can hooked up.

finally got the one side of the alt mount tacked down. but then mom showed up with food, and now dad has passed out on the couch, so IDK if we are gonna finish.

 

Wonder if this will run at some point. Get to work, I want to see this thing back in action! (I know you've got to, too. Haha.)

 

Yea tell me about it... That little bit was the first time I could in a while. And now I maybe running a different alt. Instead meaning another mount.

 

OMG progress! I now know I need about a 76" basically 20" shorter than factory.

got the bracket made! is drying now and will be finished up tomorrow. I remounted the oil catch better, and mounted the starter,oil pressure sensor, and coil pack.

It looks like tomorrow, I should be able mount the alt. then install the belt. then I can put in the radiator, which means coolant and trans fluid. sometime it gets oil. then a battery, and we get to see if I remembered all my bolts. UNLESS life sucks for me like it always does, then I should hear her run tomorrow. With the belt measured It will take some sort of mishap to not start it this weekend.

thats dad at work there, and the pics are only of when we were tacking it down, finished pics tomorrow.

dads advice for welding "It dont matter if its clean If ya cant see it anyway"~reference to him getting old and goin blind.

 

Got to work on it some before class, then fellow Dgaf club member is coming over after class to see if we can get her running.

 

Looking good, can't wait to see this one in action.

 

well Im currently in class, but right after Ill be heading to the parts store to pick up the belt. (its already ordered and paid for) then I should be able to get a running video for you guys tonight...man I hope so. I do have an engineering test tomorrow, so I have to balance them, but if no more issues, then she'll run.

 

awesome build

 

belt was the RIGHT size!!! got the alt mounted, and the belt put on...headed to wing night...Ill get some more done when I get back.
