i think its about time i formalized my plans instead of taking up space posting here and there. one year ago i bought a red 1988 all-trac from a guy who spun it into a curb and broke an axle and bent the a-arm and ripped it out f the body, possibly more. he then let it sit for three years until i came along and bought it for $1000, a little much but i just wanted it, stupid. on the plus side the car came with a momo steering wheel, trd struts all around, a short shifter, and an hks boost gauge.
BODY: its ok only damage is to drivers side front fender plus a little rust here and there.
WORK: replaced fuel pump with walbro, replaced turbo, replaced plugs, replaced head gasket with trd, replaced a-arm, replaced axle. then the head seized and ripped apart my timing belt.
and here i am now. waiting on parts for rebuild. topline gasket set, je pistons, eagle rods, arp hardware, king bearings, tte hg. planning on using 2nd gen head with minor port and polish and shimless buckets. going to keep the stock turbo and trying to keep it mostly stock.
i wanted to acid dip but time and money just dont warrant it. so eventually it will get a seam weld and full cage and skid plates. going to run the car as a pgt rally car. obviously going to run a stronger clutch. boost controller, bov, restrictor plate, 650cc injectors(shouldnt be a problem right, on like 12psi?), and some sort of fms, only because im not allowed to run megasquirt. some sparco seats, harnesses, fuel cell, lsd, exhaust, probably some oz wheels, battery relocation, too many little things to blab on about but i hope you get a pretty good view of my goal which is one trillion hp!!!!! haha jk more like 250. always open to advice from all you knowledgeable masters. anything important im overlooking? wish me luck!
as for suspension in my dreams i would be using proflex or ohlins but realistically i havent decided.
