Vegablade Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) Well besides my thread in the offroad section I have yet to do a proper build thread and figured now is the time. As I received it. Needed a fuel pump, headlight assemblies, grill.Removed all emissions equipment. Had actually not been registered since1997. Had 82,000 miles on it. Also want to thank Jeff (oneeye) and Rick and anyone else who has helped me not only work on my car but who have taught me a whole lot. No good build pictures but this is after receiving the 2" lift and 27x8.5x14 Wildcats and Drilled Wheels. First time out of the shop. Had to replace the gas tank as the whole time it sat it was missing the gas cap. Added 27x8.5x14 Maxxis Bighorn tires on new Drilled Les Schwab steel wheels. Flat black hood. Dug out old Yakima bars. Purchased a Yakima Load Warrior rack with extension for cheap on craigslist. Added yakima light mounts with some old 6" KCs. Also a cheap CB Radio. Added a Weber 32/36 with a Redline Adapter. 6 Lug Conversion. Edited March 26, 2014 by Vegablade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegablade Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) Then we started the 6 inch lift. 6" lift done. 235/75/15 Maxxis Bighorns. Awesome tire the first time so went with them again. Cockpit View. Dirty engine bay. Dropped and extended shifter linkage thanks to Jeff and Rick. Hopefully lots more to come.

dannycisneros Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Did les schwab do the six lug conversion for you to put those wheels on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegablade Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Did les schwab do the six lug conversion for you to put those wheels on? ...No they did not. They wont even touch a car that is six lug swapped or drilled. If you are looking for wheels your only option is Peugeot 14 or 15" wheels in 4x140mm, but they are pretty rare these days. Or you can drill a set of 6 lug wheels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will do them if they are off the vehicle. if you can swing that its a good loophole that is my favorite color btw Nate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegablade Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 I must have been special because they touched my 6 lug swapped brat. Never told them it was a drilled hub though They must not have cared then. I don't even bother letting them touch my car. I had them mount and balance. I can do the rest.
