Agreed, made me rethink my plan!

Little update - parts out for powder coat before final assembly.

Up here this time of year everything gets to be covered in snow. Especially out where the car is right now. Might have to wait until spring to get the car home. Definitely interested to know what you have in those boxes though...

this is amazing. I have a 72 144 sitting in a barn that I cant wait to get my hands on. tons of inspiration here

I have a couple boxes full of '71 144 parts and a full front grill with headlight buckets that need a new home. So you need to get to work.

This is so cool! Can't wait to see more updates.

Thanks!

Don’t have any new pics to add but have been busy refreshing lot of different things:

Oil pan appeared to be leaking so it got a new gasket. It’s probably not going to do a whole lot since it likely has the original felt front and rear seals.
Replaced the fuel pump gasket and found the spacer had a crack, so that was replaced too.
Replaced the three deteriorated rubber radiator mounts.
Replaced the clutch master and slave.
Have new wheel bearings, ball joints, brake calipers, an M41 gasket kit, and a clutch on the shelf ready to go next. Meanwhile have been searching for missing seat hardware and trying to find replacements. Found a radio block off plate in my spares - score!

Suspension-wise, final mock-up on the rear end is taking place. Replacement KYB shocks came in so mounts will be fabricated for front and rear. Fabricating mounts for the ecu to hide behind the pump and under the tank along with valve block. Tank received fittings, and now air lines are being planned.

Getting close.

Rear Axle mock-up finished. Moving on to rear upper crossmember. Might replace 9000 series bags with 7076.

I like the idea with the tank. I'm personally not a fan of plunking the air tank right into the middle of the trunk and putting it on display. I like trunk space lol

I need to use the trunk for strollers and kids stuff. lol #parent

Fabrication on point!

Thanks!

Had the 5gal aluminum tank shortened by about 7inches to tuck it out of the way behind the spare. I'm good with compromising tank capacity for trunk space and like the somewhat hidden install.




Rear axle bottom air spring bracket and lower rod arm fabricated.


Upper triangulated arm.

The 22's are actually pretty baller IMO

lol, they're nice. Just not the look I'm after.

Damn man, this thing is clean AF for having 500k miles! Love how classy it looks, hope the final wheel choice will mantain the oldschool vibes

Thanks! Working on custom wheels with an old school vibe.

Are you sticking with the B20?

No plans to change yet. Does need a rebuild.

Dude, how can be this clean with that mileage? Explain your secret!

Haha, I’m 3rd owner. There’s rough areas but that just means room for improvement.

Nice combo you have here!

The #krolla is my brother Matt’s (4pistonmonday). It’s under the knife getting a 4P K24. Pretty badass build.

Loved this stage, maybe a little lower and wider steelies.
Dogo is amazing

I’ve enjoyed the smoothies, the height hasn’t been bad but I’ve wanted to make it my own. Dogo has ridden in the car too lol

Actually kinda dig the color.. Can't wait to see what it looks like once the bags are installed!!

Thanks! I love the color - “light green.” I’ve visualized having the car bagged for a long time so, me too!
