My other SUV:
2002 Ford Expedition:
2/2 drop w/ Belltech spindles and rear air adjustment
Lightning wheels
Harley Davidson edition valence, fogs and headlights
Billet grilles
LED tails
This photo was from a few years ago. The red paint has faded badly since then (they all do). My plans are to return it to stock (the L wheels are worth more than the SUV) and sell next year. It's been a great truck. But I don't need two full-size SUVs.
My project car:
1977 Datsun 280Z. Bought the car two years ago. Interior is mint. No rust. Car is complete down to dealer-installed A/C and emergency repair kit. Currently, I have the fuel tank out for refurbishment. Started having driveability issues, and realized the inside of the tank had lots of rust in it. I'm building a rotisserie so I can clean it out and phosphate treat the inside. Rebuilt the engine room fuel system last year. This, along with a new fuel pump, fuel lines and damper should make the fuel system rock solid.
Next up is ss brake lines, exhaust and wheels. And there are a few minor cosmetic issues to repair in a few spots. Otherwise, just drive the crap out of it and enjoy it.
Medium term, I want to retrofit early-style bumpers. Long-term, I want to remove the sunroof and side moldings (a horrible artifact of dealer accessorizing from the 1970's). But that will require a repaint.
