Scored this B2 from ex co-worker. 1990 168K runs good. Needed some work but did run. So far Ive replaced all the brakes, rotors, wheel cyl,hardware etc. Blower motor and resistor, water pump and fan clutch, all belts and hoses. Headlamp assembly was melted. Had the dreaded floppy mirrors so replaced those too. Put a new set of 235-75-15 Grabber ATs. Complete tune-up. Have a full set of KYB shocks ready to go on and need to fix rear body mounts. This should make a fun winter vehicle/toy.

Looks like a great buy. When I was searching for my current B2 out here, I couldn't anything that nice for less than a grand! A $250 B2 wouldn't be worth towing home. Sounds like you have a good start on your project, keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks for the welcome. Not much has changed recently. Took the spare carrier off as it was driving me nuts with the rattles and clunks. Still have to put the shocks on. And I think it needs radius arm bushings so I grabbed a set of those. Just been busy and havent done much, but have been using it as my daily driver the last week. Other than the power windows being inop, non functional fuel gauge and some front end rattling and clunking she is a blast to drive.
