Most may not remember me, but for those that might, yes, I still have the same Cabby. She's been in my garage, in pieces for a few years, and I'm just a couple weekends away of getting her back together. Recon I might stop by a bit more often...

Good to see ya PDX. It's certainly been a while. Glad to hear your getting the cabby back on the road. Hoping to do the same for Kuklaki this year. Just needs a new top & better suspension.
What all is lacking on yours.

Re: Wow
just gotta put the freshened/milled head on, decide between the stock euro downpipe or the TT euro downs (i've got both), rebuild the CV joint I busted... and i'm back on the road. then i might start thinking about a bigger cam.....
I've got the head milled .040", and, in addition to the Autotech head gasket I should be running ~9.6:1 CR. I finally got around to installing my 2H tranny with 5th gear swap & bolted diff. Installed poly steering rack bushings, and poly rear motor mount.
I think thats about everything... lots of cobwebs to dust off....

Re: Wow
It's gone pretty well. I've learned that my parts organization (ie none) does have a statute of limitations. I've had to make a couple runs to the wrecking yard for missing bolts (intake manifold), and bought a second set of steering rack bushings after I couldn't find the first ones that were sitting in the rain tray when I got home. Oh well.
Almost forgot the TT shift kit and bushings to the list too. I can't wait to get the Cabby back on the road, even if it's interfering with my fishing time.
