Haha glad someone caught on.
Got some angle steel from a coworker which was the exact length I needed for the light brackets. Rained all day so I messed with the bracket for sometime.


All I had to do was drill the holes and cut the one side because the was im mounting them is on the front of the core support like oem. just different holes. The hole idea behind the bracket and wiring is that if I need to, I can pull the whole assembly out and take it apart with ease.

Just a picture showing im back on stock fenders, with no clearance whatsoever haha

Then this was me draining the gas tank as lazy as I could haha.
Ill have some updates tomorrow since it shouldn't be raining.

Totally did not take any pictures today. But broke the funnels out and filled the coolant and oil up. Fuel is a all hooked up. Bled the brakes and the clutch. Then went to fire her up and the battery is dead lmao. So I'll get it charged up tomorrow at work. I spent the rest of the time drilling the mounting holes for the headlight bracket. That's it for now foolz

Thanks man, Welcome to S/W btw

Well heres where I am. Im getting spark, im getting fuel to the rail. but the injectors aren't spraying. They're controlled by the crank angle sensor which is in the dizzy. Im going to check tomorrow morning to make sure im getting power to that. But the rain kind of ruined my plans today.

So ive decided that since I got a different exhaust for the Miata im going to run the muffler on the truck. So I cut it down so I can use the muffler alone.

Then since I had nothing to do, I polished it up a little.

Going to make mounts for it sometime and weld up a straight pipe to it one of these days.

So haven't had the want to climb under the truck or the timing really to drop the oil pump to mess with timing. So ive been messing with the wiring on my lights. Have the passenger side all wired up, relay and all. Just need to drill one more hole for the bracket and get it bolted up. Then probably start on the other side haha

More updates to come

One step at a time, want to get it running good then go from there

[TheCrabMaster]

Not much of a update as usual. Working like a dog and dodging rain drops in the meantime. Got the oil pump dropped and the timing fixed. Then it started raining.

But here's a super cool instagram pic

[TheCrabMaster]

So I have no update as usual. My buddy aka my Assistant Manger, is getting promoted to Manager so we will be down 2 people now at work. So this means minimum time off. So I haven't even touched the truck. But I did buy some goodies.

But in the process of reorganizing the garage into a work space so everything is here

Got the pipe bender for $40 brand new at good ole harbor freight because it was open box and sat for like a month. SOLD! I only have one day off this week, and I wont be messing with the truck. Got a buddy in town from college and going to fab him up a couple of things and get his car ready for a show this coming weekend. So don't give up hope on me just yet. Updates to come soon, I hope :/
