Well I figured I should do a project thread on my truck since there is so much I , want to do with it (and I would love some advice). Because I am such a slacker, I have no pics as of now and I have already started into the work. I bought a 94 S10 2.2 5-speed with an extended cab somehow it also is a 3 door....
So far I have changed the vacuum lines, thermostat, flushed the cooling system, put in a K&N air filter, fixed the heater, installed ventshades, and removed some vinyl graphics from the sides. Its going to need some body work and paint, bumper repair, interior overhaul new audio and more.
I'd like to go with ZQ8 suspension, power windows and locks, new steering wheel soft tonneau cover and a couple other things, I will try to get pics up as soon as I can. Oh and I do have pics of the graphics I removed but can't upload them at this time.
lol is it even still possible that I can look forward to seeing pictures of it in the Ford Harley Davidson paint job? I'm totally looking forward to that.
Ken, Its getting painted, I get a good chunk of money for my birthday at the end of January from a car accident when I was in high school. So the only real block from getting it painted will be gone. After that, interior work, reseal the engine again and start saving for the V8 swap.
Yeah, he has the parts, tools and the time, plus he works a lot faster than I do. I need a new head, mine had a crack in it when I pulled it in June, or was warped. Since I'm going to go with a new head, I'll probably go with higher ratio roller rockers, springs, big valves and maybe some porting before I put it on. I know its dumb for a 2.2 and I won't gain any real power, I might break 100 HP at the wheels, but I'm hoping for more torque
Yep, 1982 last of the Stingrays its got 21.5 K on the odometer, Bright Blue Metallic the second rarest color. Its my mom's car, next to it right now is a 74, 350/TH400 car waiting for a 454/TKO500 transplant.
Well I'm gonna call myself out on this one, I'm full of shit.
I doubt there will be any progress on this until I have a real job since I am graduating school this spring. (Aside from installing a headunit that I have laying around with the new Metra kit) At that point, I will begin to start collecting parts that I need and treat the frame. Parts I am looking to replace as far as the body include the right cab corner, core support, third door and the bed. I also need to get all new weatherstripping, carpet and overhaul the interior. After its pretty (for lack of a better word) and a new cylinder head. I will begin to start saving for the drive train swap (LSx, T56 and built rear end).
