Fuel system well under way and time for braking! Fuel pressure regulator and filter housing ready to go with cleaning and rebuild! Tank cleaned up incredibly well too! First fuel up in 40+ years!

Let’s make some fuel system, cooling system and brake system work on the SL Pagoda!! Time for its first cruise 😃

Yes the beautiful little 🐇 still runs and drives…made it not so flexy in the middle and has some nice interior now 😅 I will probably never get rid of this thing…..for no reason at all but it’s fought to live this long, it’ll continue in some shape or form 😁

No doubt had its Ups & Downs but the Cruster Duster is officially a 5 speed!! Wow what a completely different car!! Video is live, taking us thru each step of the DIY swap process! We really hope you all enjoy 😃

Even though it’s just a crusty $325 Duster…it feels weird “hacking” it up! Necessary for this T5 swap and we’ll get it all dialed in the end 😃

Out with the Old! Suppose we forgot just how bad the interior in this thing is…..can’t wait to get a fresh one in it! 😃 904 Auto is dropped! Time for the T5!

Gas going in the Duster for the first time in decades!! Spare well rust repair and fresh tank is done!

As much as we love this truck and enjoy driving the wheels off of it, the time has unfortunately come! With limited garage space and hopes to put funds in other builds. It’s time for the Dakota Convertible to go to a new loving home!

Two Projects we have been acquiring parts for, as budget has allowed. The Cruster Duster and Field Find Formula! The Duster getting a T5 swap (which we aim to complete this week). The Firebird getting a 3.73 factory disc axle, M22 Rockcrusher, frame connectors and more! has always been one of our go to’s for parts we need for various projects, including these two. We’re excited to announce they’ve asked us to be part of their affiliate program! Meaning when you use the link in our bio to shop, it helps to support us! We hope you all are excited to see more on these! Thanks so much!
