What did you do to your SyTy today? (part 2)

Re: What did you do to your SyTy today? (part 2)

i had some free time in the garage on Sunday. I swapped my CarDone reman sloppy zq8 box out for a junkyard camaro z box. It aligned my steering shaft correctly, i just hope its tighter than the reman'd box.

Also disconnected my Bosch fuel pump, and mounted up the Magnafuel pump & filters. I still have to cut my old fuel lines down and add new fittings.

I started splitting my engine harness up to loom it together. 500ft of wire, and about 60 crimp terminals before its done.

Been a long time coming. Trans sat on shelf ( with most of the rest of the truck )the past 3-4 maybe 5 years. Took it down, pointed it towards garage door and that's it. Will wait for parts to trickle in.




Parts trickled in finally. Pro elite kit.. not much to the package I guess its all packed in there.

hope I'm as happy as this guy in the end..

These trucks are cursed
Re: What did you do to your SyTy today? (part 2)

Had it tastefully tinted. I feel much better now.

Looks good! You go with limo all the way around and 15% on the doors?

Once you have tinted windows it's literally impossible to go back. I get annoyed driving rental cars cause they don't have it haha.

I've been thinking about bringing my Ty back to my friend's shop to go double limo all the way around. The Saudi trucks didn't come with that "Solar-Ray" glass, and single limo just isn't quite dark enough.

Look Great:tup: I've always tinted my own windows so I'm curious what a tint job cost now n'days? Never like the fishbowl look:lol:

The two front windows and the rear hatch cost me $185. Normally, it would be more but because this the fourth car I've brought them, they gave me a bit of discount. For philly-area peeps, this is the place I go to: www.sunsationall.com

.

The rear fixed windows are factory tinted...more of a mirror tint. About 15% on the doors, and a step down from limo tint in the back.

I agree with you on "non-tinted" cars. It just feels weird to me now.

Picked up my 80e from the trans repair place. £1600 later... ouch!

I removed the trans and the Circle D converter today and am going to begin reinstalling the rebuilt trans tomorrow if I get time. It's been a long time since she ran properly. I hope this is the right path!

I mounted my new fuel pump. I have a handful of sensors to wire, and some switches in the cab. Then it'll be back on the road. I can't wait.

Checking the fitment of my intercooler core! 18x12x6. Looks like i have room for 2 inch side tanks with 4 inch pipes! Will be shrouded to direct air flow to it. Bottom of intercooler will just about line up with center frame crossmember!
