The Beast - Progress

Well, Here are some pics of the progress I've made (mostly today). I put a new bumper on the front, new bumper on the back, relocated the spare tire, and ripped out the carpet.





Below: a little bit of a suprise under the carpet!

The Green Beast Lives!

I've been trying for weeks to get that durn thing running well. The short of it is I checked everything multiple times, I replaced the throttle body, finally I replaced spark plugs and wires. That helped tons. It was still running like garbage so I pulled the fuel injector. As I was about to swap over the injector from the original throttle body I realized I plugged the wrong wires into the wrong connector when I installed the spare TB. DOH! So I reinstalled the injector and voila! It now runs great. Man - I'm kicking myself for messing that up. But really...it's all good now!

Now that I know it runs decent it's time to do a little metal fabrication. I'll keep you posted.
