1992 Typhoon #0014's resurection (Updated 3/25)

[AUSyTyIN]

Well, after being parked for more than 4 years, #14 drove for the first time today. It still misfires, but at least It's running. I had to rebuilt the tranny pump, pull the alarm, replace the ECM, do a complete tune up, but it was worth it :tup:

Can you tell how we got it up the driveway? :lol:

Fix the misfire, yes. Paint is still up in the air though...

Well, the misfire was just a vacuum leak. Now if I could just fix this false knock, I'd be set

Looks like it really needs some attention. Good luck.

It's actually not that bad. Just needs a few body panels, and some paint, but all of the hard parts are all there.

But, I just found out my false knock is real knock :tdown: (although I guess it easier to track that down :lol: )

Have fun with that rust over the rear window :lol: ... and hopefully no surprises under the cladding, I found some of those on the GT

I bought a rust free 2 door blazer for $50, sold the wheels for $100, the front grill/bumper/bracket for $50, etc. I'm as happy as a tornado in a trailer park :lol:

Well Austonium took me for a spin in that junk box last night, all I have to say is DAMN. That truck runs really well, the ONLY thing I could pick out wrong with the truck that was not exterior cosmetics is the damn rear window squeak. runs great, good job Mears!
