Newly Purchased Project

I just picked up a project MM and figured that I would try and hook up with as many online resources as possible. I am not new to the scene, but I am new to MMs/D50s.

I picked up an 87 reg cab with an interesting engine swap. It is powered by a Ford 2.3 and C5 tranny. Supposedly (the seller was a pothead...so I'm not holding my breath) the engine is from a round track dirt car and the tranny is a mild build (B&M shift kit). It is in desperate need of some electrical attention (not even a key switch....and the underhood wiring is hideous. However, I am a MECP Certified installer and somewhat of a custom electronics guy, so hopefully I can get it road worthy soon.

Static dropped (monoleafed w/ blocks and I'm not even sure that it has coils up front ....it is hammered though ), a few things shaved, Z-71s with low profile rubber, and a few other small things made it a decent find for what I paid. I hope to be picking up some parts and getting some advice along the way with this build.

must show pics!

let's see some pics.

sounds great man!!! what do you have planned for it?

and get some pics up!

Well the truck hasn't quite made it to my house yet. I have it 'stored' at UncleLee's until we can get a radiator and a coil installed in it (time is the enemy) But I will post a pic to mightyd50.com gallery. These are the original pics that made me go and look at the truck, and then buy it.

I have since lined up a billet grille and Yota bumper to help the aesthetics part of it, now I have to start fixing the haggard wiring and underhood mess.
