That’s Vicente

 

Who fucked the wall up

 

No one sells blinds this long. Plus custom cut blinds are pricey, these are cheap ones from Ikea.

 

Hulk Smash!

 

I fixed some damage. That’s spackle awaiting paint.

 

There’s a half inch gap between blinds. Can’t get around that unfortunately.

 

Spackle? You must mean bondo

 

No, this isn’t 40% of your van.

 

So i found out that what I thought was all dirt and oil is actually partly some kind of nasty under coating on the van mixed with years of dirt and oil. I can scape it off in sheets

 

Gross.

Did you convince your dad to get a lift yet?

 

Nope not yet. Also every low hanging part on the van has been hit by a rock at some point

 

Paid $400 for the #farmtruck. My buddy and I crawled around it and determined the frame was straight. Suspension is all good to go and the flatbed is in good shape. Frame is fine. But filled with dirt.... because it got taken through some mud and got stuck. So that led to us solving the stuck transfer case mystery. The transfer case ate itself because they let it fill with water and drove it in 4lo too fast probably. Tons of metal chunks.

Front diff had water so we drained it fully and it might not be blown up judging off of what came out. The rear was fine. Transmission shifted fine and I drove the truck up to 20mph... probably not the best thing to do but it's now a $400 truck. 5VZ had good compression and sounded just like my 125K engine so I'm not worried about it. The O2 sensor was the only code. It has brand new CV axles, front driveshaft, and rear shocks. He had paperwork from some other recent work done like a timing belt and brake job. AISIN hubs are also fairly new. Seemed like a shop nickel and dimed this guy out of every possible part but what was actually wrong with it. I'm overall pretty happy with it for a summer project and trail rig. Needs more work than I expected but I paid a whole lot less than I expected.

 

So what do I do now? Anyone got a 5VZ R150F transfer case for sale?

 

Damn, transfer case shouldn’t be that hard to find

How’s the interior look?

Not that it matter at 500$

 

I bet James does

 

Tons and 40s

 

I think his was a auto
