Happy Father's Day to all the Father's and Father's to be!
Spent some time my beautiful daughter and wifey and my Luv.
Threw the FP green turbo on, added manifold and turbo blanket. Was hoping it would be an easy swap but the bullseye turbo and green are a little different , needed a new intake coupler, intercooler coupler, oil feed fitting, oil drain line. But it fits and runs, now just needs a tune. Kevin Jewer where you at lol...I will be in touch soon.

Thanks to
The LUV grabbed the Best Chevy truck and Best other (because it's a mix of Chevy, Mitsubishi, Ford, Mazda lol)
Let the summer begin, hopefully soon here at the PNW.

It's been awhile but soon to have a decent turbo. Newly rebuilt FP green by Justin of course. Getting ready for car show season and maybe a little more horsepower. Maybe trying to get ahold of Kevin Jewer for a quick touch up on the tune after the turbo install.
Let's get ready for summer!

From 18 days old she went to her first car show, now she is 4 months now she has 7 car shows under her belt. She enjoys time with her mama and her papa and of course with as well. Car show season is just about over this year. Next year let's see if I can get out there.

Updates on . Finally swapped to vent wing doors and painted a hood I picked up. The hood was primered silver and doors were yellow when I picked them up few years back. Paint ain't perfect but rattle can job not too bad. What do you guys think? Getting ready for summer!
Flat black exterior and did gloss clear on interior of doors. I may flat black the whole truck eventually.

Long time since last post but been training my new mechanic even though she is only 3 weeks old she made it to her first car show with & wifey. Eventually she will be taking over these ongoing projects lol. Gotta start them young...
Also swapped out my dash that was previously spray foam and body filler lol with a junk yard dash I picked up last year. Looks way better than before. May add a dash cap eventually.

No major updates, but swapped out some parts store yellow shocks with some rancho adjustable rear shocks. Great difference matches well with my QA1 adjustable coilovers. LUVLEE matches well with the Panda.

Happy new years! Not much of an update. But dropped the trans again to get the torque converter sent out to Precision Industries to add the sprag back in. I want it to be more streetable and keep the temps down a bit in the trans. Took it for a drive and the Panda needed to stretched its legs too.
Precision Industries do great work! And great customer service.

Who can guess what's new to the fleet? Some may know already but this was my first car 22 years ago.
