Havent had much done.

Hope you guys are interested in this build, havent had much comments lately.

I'm going to buy 250lbs, 1,9", free lenght 12" springs to rear. Or as close I can get. 150lbs's wont just do the job.

Changed the transmission finely!!! Now we have 200R4, instead of that TH350! 350 was a good transmission, but this thing is going to be nice cruisin' around, when I have that extra gear, and yes, I will get that turbine lock function 🙂

Some photos of the build. It took us about 14 hours, I was pretty exhausted when I got back home, I think it was closer to 3 AM

This crossmember is something that I'm really happy with. Came out real nice. My friend did that so no wonder it came out like it did

All the gears go in like they should, car moves forward and backwards. I can fully test drive that thing when that snow is gone, I think it will take 3 months. But its a good start!!

Thanks! Really waiting for the summer, I'm thrilled to see how this will perform with modifications I did with suspension and transmission 🙂

Thanks 🙂

Did the wiring for the turbine lock 🙂

Added one more relay

Okay, first one is for the vacuum switch, second one that the gearbox is on the 4th, and the 3rd relay is for the brake switch, If I push the brake pedal, the turbine lock switch off.

So I'm hoping it will work as it should 🙂
