The Bongo Hotdawg - New Pics 3-14-11

the 195/60s look good. I can't decide what tire size to go with on mine.

I'm gonna do 195/60's in the rear and 50's in the front eventually, but no point buying any when I don't need'm yet lol.

1hotdawg...how did you do the lights on your guages????

Just swap the bulbs for colored ones

So how long has it been since you've had your pacesetter headers? I just wondering if its worth getting them or the ceramic. I don't want rusted headers!

Ok here's an update. I've just finished installing some (i believe) mid 90's Prelude seats. Not hard, only got the tunnel bolts to line up, the door side I used a sheet metal screw, and the rear I put new 3/8" bolts through the floor. I'm lovin these things! Makes me feel like I'm in a new truck lol.



And here's a fun lil "Heavy Hauler" shot. This is my work's lawn mower I use at my house lol..."fringe benefits"



Current plans are to either build me a center console or get one from another vehicle I like installed. Also planning to build my door panels, and I'm hoping to include a "map pocket" on them, and cover them in black clothe lo match the seats. Eventually the whole interior pretty much will be black.

Planning on swapping motors around Feb. next year, either to a 13B-Turbo, 626 Turbo, or even possibly a V-8 swap (If I could get the pop in law to give up the Vette engine he's not using lol).

seats look good nice color i need to get some new seats soon

A couple new pics. Got my console back in with the old stereo thing with plexi glass in it. Future holds gauges going in the plexi there. It's black plexi Also, new Kumho tires. 195/50/15's in the front, and 215/50/15's in the rear.

She's still static the old school way, but I've recently purchased Bell Tech leaves and torsions from Rutter on here, and got hooked up with some DJM dropped arms from a friend of Gregg on here. So soon she'll be riding much better, and have proper camber and alignment

It's been 2 years since my last update on this thread. The truck hasn't changed majorly in that time, but it is now raised. I took some new pics the other day and thought I'd add them here.

Right now, I'm planning on putting in a 302 mated to an auto tranny into this truck. I don't know if I'm going to leave this one raised or what yet. I'm sure you've all got opinions about what I should do lol, (BAGGIT!) But this is my daily.

I've also recently purchased another truck for $225. She doesn't run right now and has some damage to the rad support and driver's inner fender. I'll be putting the engine from the 89 into this one, and then decide what exactly I'm going to do with it.

So that's an update to my old thread Being as how I'm soon to be doing more work to it, I'll update as I go.

Finally an update!

LOL, just jokin! Original truck looks pretty good as is. Will be killer with the V8.

As for the $225 truck my response is obvious......










Juice it, throw on some spokes and add a little velvet on the inside!!!!!

What, did you think i was gonna say bagit? LOL
