Don's 1992 GMC Yukon 2 door project ZFG

[Donnie Yukonie]

Well I wanted a beater so I can finish the big truck . And since its going to be down in the next few weeks for the SAS I decided it was time to buy something . I picked this pos up for $1500 bucks . 170k on body 80k on motor. It had some flaws but to be a northern truck showed no major rust which had me sold. Only spot that was bad was the fuel tank for w.e reason .

Cleaned it up, put a new fuel tank in it , New pump, New lines from the rail back. New front brakes , wipers , thunderbolt exhaust And scored a free new set of 99 rims and tires . Restored them and put them on . Since the frame and body is solid I painted it as well . I just picked up new shocks and 4 new speakers came in the mail. Other than that every light and function works ... Even the cruise control . Not crazy about the two tone of plastidip the guy did but that was because it had a rust area repaired behind the right wheel well and couldn't match the two tone . I'll fix the paint later

Overall I'm pretty happy with it always wanted a 2 door and got one . But for now it's the daily . Wife already sick of me putting money in it

Sweet score. Bawahaaa the wives and our mods monies....As if the nagging will stop the mod bug and the need to change something. Perfect for a 2 door.

Cool ride.

And ditto on tapacrap. I will never understand why people insist on continuing to use that pile of crap app

Well the beater is quickly turning into a restoration project i guess, should have known better than to buy a "2 door beater"

Things Ive found broken or leaking ect...
-Flywheel (teeth chipped) - replaced
-Starter (replaced with the flywheel for obvious reasons)
- P/S pump (leaking - Replaced

Cleaned up the motor pretty good and restored some of the plastics and metal

bought a new front grille headlights corners and bumper lights and a left front fender
Polished the front bumper but still has some fade to it
painted the frame


Before









So I degreased the front end sanded some of the rough stuff and painted the rest




















Pretty happy with the results , Took some time to actually get everything lined up correctly and I'm still not 100% happy with the passenger side headlight being uncentered a bit but its w.e

Really digging the 92 model grill . almost went with the 95+ but glad i didn't . gives it a more retro unique look.

Still need to put the fender on but Im going to wait till another weekend to do that
