After selling my 4 seat rockwell buggy project, I picked up an EB that made its way across the mountain.
Im sure a few of you have seen this thing before, and maybe even worked on it...
Here is the build thread from when it came to NC:
http://www.nc4x4.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62081
When I got it, it had been changed a little... mainly the 302 was pulled for a "fresh" 351W with a demon carb...
Some of the things that it needed asap were:
- a better cooling system... cant keep it under 250 to save ur life
- fix rear driveshaft & axle... apparently along the way the rear spring perches werent welded on completely, and then after being wheeled some, the whole axle rotated and tore out the driveshaft
Some other plans I have for it...
Short term:
- swap propane on & get rid of carb.......... Done, still need to make a permenant mount & basket
- bigger & better tires
- beadlocks...... have them, just need to mount them
[COLOR="Gray"]- winch................ Done
- front locker...............Done[/COLOR]
- regear axles
Longer term:
- rear discs
- link the rear (4 link or 1 link)
- redo front suspension (extended radius arms or 3/4 link)
- add some tubing and do some sheetmetal work
Mainly I want to work out a few bugs and wheel it... I havent had a good rig in a while and really miss being on the trails... plus i wouldnt mind having something to run a few ECORS races in, if I decide
I dont have any pics from when I got it... I will update when I can take some pics
