my 90 b2's re-birth

94xlt4.0 · 04-24-2010, 11:57 PM

heres my 90 b2 4wd. i got it from a friend who drove it till it blew a head gasket. he lost his job so he could not afford to have it fixed or to even do it himself so he said i could have it. im only into the cost of the gasket set cuz i did the heads my self at my college shop. hopefully in the next couple weeks it will be running with a small lift, by the way it already has the d35

the day i got it:

after the first day of working on it:

thanks guys, ill have more pics wednesday cuz thats the next time ill be able to work on it. the body is pretty straight, there's one small dent on the rear wheel arch, and the center of the hood thats it. anyone know about how much the glass for the rear hatch runs for the non-opening version?

good news... its alive!!!! i just have to set the timing to the specs and figure out a few more vacuum lines then put on some 31's and shes ready for the road. here she is with the new grill

94xlt4.0 · 06-16-2010, 11:39 PM

my new cb and center console set up, the ash tray was broke and i dont smoke anyway

and my junkyard bumper find, $25 and the local pick your part

i just picked up some coil spacers for the front, but i need to solve my issue with the check engine light, im getting codes 26, 63, and 66 anyone have any ideas? i also picked up a cargo cover in blue to match my interior on ebay

94xlt4.0 · 07-03-2010, 01:23 AM

picked these goodies at harbor freight, 9.99 each so you cant go wrong. now to find a place to mount them cuz they dont fit behind the grill

another update: the b2 is registered and insured, $395 later. i went to put gas in it from a gas can i had and i noticed a puddle beneath the gas tank. the notorious rbv fuel filler neck. so as i lower the tank to replace that one of the two fuel lines to the pump break. none of the crappy parts stores have a replacement in stock so im stuck going to the stealership for a simple fule line.

ok, finally another update. the headlights were toast on the deuce so i went on the bay and picked these up:

installing today and ill post picss when im done. the only downside is they use the 9004 bulb so i have to "fix" them to fit the 9007 like i did to the stockers
