Mass photo drop, been a minute since I updated.
Long story short, she's a runner after a fair amount of work and got to see some daylight. We're getting close.
Fuel system, drive shaft version 2, flex plate swap, mods for the 700r4, making an '85 column vibe with '78 wiring...
At this point I just need to put together an exhaust system and put in a windshield. 😁

Scrounged up some misc bits and bobbles to progress the squarebody. And the superior method of bolt extraction.

Tough to beat the cool factor of a Willys gasser

Yep that’ll work 😍 Posted • Back on the street! Have some overheating issues, small oil leak, and a little bit of sticky throttle to sort out. Hopefully I can figure it out shortly and get some license plates on it.

Uncharted territory, and an offer you can't refuse... my first turbo awd project.
After replacing both water pumps, seals, and the pcv valve on this 200k Tig it seemed to be a spunky little driver. So naturally I lowered it with H&R coils and bilstein dampers.
APR cold air intake setup, and a stage 1 tune perked it up, but left a little to be desired.
The cost of a proper catback exhaust was a bit prohibitive for the potential gain, so I moved forward with a rear suitcase muffler delete.
That was the ticket. The engine can exhale now, it went from silent to audible, and with a decent tone. Nvh standards be damned.
To be honest it's weird being surrounded by doodads and gizmos, but I think I could get used to heated seats and functional ac... 😅

Under this hood lurks a twin-turbo Coyote V-8 that will flat-out walk a Dodge Demon 170.
