Thanks everyone for all the support!

Spent some time working on motor stuff
1. Installed new battery
2. Changed upper and lower radiator hoses, flushed radiator.
3. New fan belt
4. Spark plugs
5. New master brake cylinder/bled brakes
Finally Got to do what I bought it for, Road tripping down highway 101. It was a blast! I can't believe the attention it gets. (new rims and tires too)

Next is suspension upgrade.

These are cut a bit lower, with VW rabbit KYB inserts. I want get a little lower. Also working on restoring a set of appliance meshies.

I am also looking into some sort of anti theft device, thinking about lojack, but it's expensive.
Blah Blah Blah. :boobs:

I think those meshies will look great! . What are your plans for those six spoke Z wheels?
I have been looking for a clean set for my goon, and I don't like what I've seen on evil-Bay.

No it's Jared's. He lives in Trinidad CA. It's a propane powered l20b turbo. The other 510 is Jesus"s.

The summer of 2016 (2017?) The radiator blew and I overheated the motor. I sanded down the engine bay and rattle canned it. Then I bought a rebuilt l20b, aluminum radiator, and electronic ignition. It turned out okay I think.
