Project: Built 2 Envy

[Built2NV]

Just blew the motor in the focus, trying to find another truck now know anyone who has anything? Really looking to get a s10 or any 4cyl 5spd pickup that could be slammed static as easy as the S10

[Tuckin15's]

Wow just looked through the whole thread and man your truck is sick!

[Built2NV]

Thanks man, its getting there slowly. Just started stripping my new cab today. Unfortunately it needs a little body work but not as much as my silver cab. Also has all teh steering column mounts in tact, my silver cab had everything ripped out for some reason. Also scored the front body mounts and some more interior pieces off my boys truck!

Need pics.

[Built2NV]

haha Ill try to get some tomorrow but I may be going to look at like 4 or 5 trucks tomorrow. Looking to get one in a couple days hopefully

[Built2NV]

Worked on stripping my boys cab again today, got the whole front clip off, swapped the rad support into his blazer (repaired a little rust hole as well), steering column out, master cylinder out, and some other stupid little bs. Need to pull the pedal assembly, vent system, heater core, blower box, e brake, and wiper assembly.

Along with the cab I scored all the missing interior pieces I needed! Kick panels, back wall, and b pillars. Had no idea first gens had all the back wall trim, and especially the kick panels! Also got a new wiper cowl since one of my tabs were rotted on mine and Im trading one of my smooth tailgates for one with the raised chevrolet letters.

[wirrrey21]

nice score on all the interior pieces.
you comin by tomorrow? just give me a call

[rigidchop]

[rigidchop]

[90blueS10]

[Built2NV]

Pics of the new daily!

What going on guys been awhile! After dailying the ZX3 pretty much stock the motor finally let go... After a long drawn out search I finally came to my senses and got another focus. I really was trying to get another mini truck but I winded up picking up a Screaming Yellow SVT EAP

67k, AEM intake, sportlines, not sure what exhuast but it sounds nice, and you guys all know what these things come with in EAP so Ill spare you all the rant haha, but I have to say what a huge difference, made me appreciate foci on a whole new level, these things are a totally different animal then a stock ZX3, even my 2.3. Tried to tell myself to leave it alone but its tough, got a little shopping list for it!



















For the hell of it a few shots of my first focus (black 2.3), the 2nd one (silver 2.3)

[MaveRankus]

Those Focus's look awesome. Kind of growing on me.

[dshznit91]

liking the yellow focus

[rigidchop]

i have the 2010 focus, and really like it. its no svt though. really liking the yellow one.

[Built2NV]

Thanks guys, yea the new foci are nice too, you have the sync with it as well? My mother has it in her milan and its pretty cool.

[rigidchop]

nope, we got the se model, 5 speed. the only option we got was cruise control. it has black interior, which i'm starting to hate. it gets dirty so easily.
any updates with the dime?

[DUTN@GAUGE]

what wheels are on the black focus?

[Built2NV]

Kazera KZ-A's in 18s

No update on the s10 really, just trying to save money so I can buythe metal to start my body drop. Being unemployed isnt helping, should be getting a job soon though.

[FCKNLOW]

truck updates!!!

[Built2NV]

I know I really need to get going on it, just been wayy too cold to work on it lately and Im in the process of stripping my other focus so I can sell it and make some money back to put towards the SVT. As soon as I get some cash coming in Im going to be banking it then after the winter do the little mods I wanna do to the focus and start busting ass on the truck. Im trying to get some work done but theres not much to do until I get money which being unemployed isnt helping... Sorry guys feel like Im letting everyone down lol

[Tuckin15's]

Its ok i haven't given up on you yet.

[Built2NV]

haha thanks! made the decision to not body drop the truck and just do everything else, including 350 swap, finish interior, etc. Too much work to do right now, I wanna drive this again, maybe later on down the road Ill do it.

[Built2NV]

Finally an update woohoo!!!! Got some work done today since it was nice out, really cold, but nice out lol Basically stripped the whole cab down so I can doing the body work. Got all the interior pieces out and in storage so I finally have a full interior for my truck now!! Just need a headliner and carpet which I planned out purchasing new anyway... I even got the little coat hanger hook, the kick panels, and lucked out and got mint seatbelts too! Next plans are to pull motor out sometime soon, someone is coming to buy it then use the money from that to have the body work done on the caband then start saving to buy my motor so I can get this thing rolling.

The bed is going to be a huge project and its something I dont think I want to attempt. Wanted to do a raised floor but the back is all rotted out in the corner so I am just going to do a full sheetmetal bed I think with small trailer fenders in it exactly like this.



Heres some pics of the truck as it sits now.

[wirrrey21]

great progress bro. i think i know the kid you got that cab from. he works at autozone right???

what's the word on who's doin the welding of the rot????

[Built2NV]

yea this is Mikes old cab. Not sure whos doing the welding yet, I may just have my painter do it. I dont think Im going to do the body work until I have a set of wheels to tub the cab. If I do it now it will probably just rust again from sitting over the winter

[vivalahammer]

lookin good ricky. what are you doin with your wheels?

[wirrrey21]

yeah, probably. it's to cold to lay bondo outside, so you're probably right. who ya got painting it?

[Built2NV]

My boy knows this guy in Mineola, forgot the name of the shop, but he used to build some mild minis back in the day so he knows how to do all the custom bracing for the bed and bodywork wont be an issue as he restores some classics. Fairly priced too.

The 14s I might just keep to have since I know Ill never find another set. Why you ask you want them?

[vivalahammer]

i'm looking for 15" 1st gen steelies so i can run my white walls with the dog dishes. lemme know if you wanna get rid of the 14s one day

[Built2NV]

yeaa ill let you know, probably keep em incase i need em though well see how packed out my garage is haha

[90blueS10]

i love this truck.

[Built2NV]

Pfft working in garages is overrated. Not to mention engine hoists are optionable haha. Motor and tranny is out and sold!

[heeter_33]

awesome truck man. i think i remember reading that you did graffiti, i think itd be sweet if you did the hood in just graffiti and see what that looks like, seeing as you like variety of hood paint options haha
