Scott in Bellingham

thank you everyone, it was a 2.2 I decided against it and picked up a 90, so everything tyhe same

like it says, also is the automatic the same in a 90? is the auto starter the same as a munual one ?

Nah Its just machinery Ive done the same thing many times , start a project and never finish, but in the process you have had experiance and learned along the way, that sometimes is more valuable then the finished product, its people that realy count anyway

One Eye should be picking it up this weekend thanks

what he said

lets see your progress:eek:

Ive got a SU side draft off a Volvo Im looking to put on a EJ only interested in low end power for offroad, think it would work OK?

Justys are fine just dont have the low range you need , also not much clearance underneath, no lift avaliable , if your going to go threw the trouble get a car with a Dual range

EA82 axles are pretty tuff, especially with your lower weight , you dont want to stress them more then 1" over stock to do so you will have more failure , alot of guy have the stubs twist off the rear diff, myself Ive never seen it, the smaller the tires and the less the weight will keep you alive, Ive had trouble with the front radius rods, they tend to bend when you hit stuff hard, theres aways the loose nut holding the steering wheel:eek:

I think its the brother of this guy

looking good,

Kenny I need that diff unless you opt to buy it , even then I will need the open diff so I can weld one up, also lets go out to your friends place you were talking about Scott

oops Labor day:eek: :cool:

thats great keep us updated I want to see that thing when your finished :banana:

Ed In in need of a 82 ford escort distributer, coil and wires, I will buy from you if you get one or 2 thanks Scott

going camping next weekend friday- monday, same place on the Nooksack river, will be taking the White soobie, last year we destroyed Mosiahs clutch, used Dylans car for target practice (paintball) went to the northfork pit, did some Alluminum casting over the campfire, went swimming, had smores, got the justy stuck its always a Fun time , who wants to come or visit? very primitive area no facilitys on the river

on the EA81 or EA82 types get yourself some rectangular tubing 2 x 6 x 1/4 for the EA81 2 x 5 x 1/4 for EA82 cut chunks 1-3/4 long drill holes and after the install run diaganal braces from one block to the other , the difficult spots will be the front strut towers , good luck, show us pictures as you bo along you can do it Scott (SJR)

Im game how bout 3 -4 weeks from now on A Saturdy all day?

I wont be going

this is tempting, I realy do need to stay home and work on the addition on my house befor the bad weather

looking at making a few bumpers, double 2" tube bent at the ends , similar to this AA one in the picture but with tow shackles and a option for a 1-1/4" or 2" reciver hitch port heres where the shackles would be front and rear bumpers , I will need to buy a set of 2" tubing bender dies so right now Im just seeing if theres any interest out there to so as to help cover the cost of tooling, and what would you pay for a bumper? Scott

thanks Zap that pretty much sums things up when your stuck, Hey are you going to wheel that Blue Brat of yours? just like in your video?

update, got the rear brakes fixed replaced the whole setup, fixed the front axle, replaced the headlight, changed out the driveline, its good to drive the car again I did miss it, will take it camping in 2 weeks over laborday ,

Austin If I wanted to tag along say saturday morning how would I find You ?? , do cell phones work out there Ive only been there once so dont know the trails or names, how late will you be up there? it takes me 2 hours to get there Scott
