This is my next build, 86 B2. It's rough, but I'm gonna save it for my wife and kids to ride in.
Plans are to remove old lift and axles, remove body lift, install full width 44 and 8.8, 4.88 gears and lockers, simple leafs and coils with extended and heimed radius arms. Gonna stretch it to about 100" wheel base. Wanting to run a 37" or so tire. And going to build custom bumpers, sliders and maybe a simple interior cage.
Rear axle all painted up, all welded up, and installed. Just need shocks and brake lines.
Got some coil buckets from thrill20, thanks!! Think I have a plan, on getting them in. Once those are in along with shocks, the front will come back apart for final weld and paint. Then on to steering and drive shafts.
I also picked up the new to me front clip, thanks Gary! I'm getting excited.
Had some time into the b2 over the last couple of days, its on its own weight now. I also got the new to me core support welded in and the new front clip mocked up....lookin cool
Coil buckets and shocks
Stance
New front end
Next is steering and pull the axle out to finish it up.
The front axle all finished and painted. Next is drive shafts, steering and brakes. Hope to have bumpers going before the first run, but time is getting tight and I'm losing drive. We'll see
Musta got some motivation from the wife proving her superior driving skilz eh.
If u need some help with motivation lemme know, ive got a case or so of liquid motivation, we can try to finish it with that.Hahaha.
Just try and tackle one thing big or small everyday. I edited and jumped around on parts of it without finishing things.
