Operation Truckdoza Re-Awesome, Step 1

I promised the Truckdoza it would get some serious love this year. Well, that's the plan. With the help of Dave (AKA "Boyfriend Dave", AKA "Inline Dave"), it's well on its way to receiving some serious upgradage.

The engine bay shortly after we started. As you can see, it's not in the best of shapes.
Rust is rearing its ugly head again. Some of the tin was in rough shape, and the powdercoating was kind of experimental. Not to mention being 2 years old and having seen some moist environments.
Dave tearing into the door card seeing how to awesome up the speaker.
Parts already beginning to accumulate in the back of the truck.
Inline performance!
The turbocharger and intake manifold. We realized quite quickly that it was missing an important heat shield.
I ran over and took a few pictures of Dave's car while he was busy.
His turbo is like 10 times the size of mine.
Cam gears and other chrome action.
Bob's Mustang SVO. I can't belive a 2.4 liter engine (4 cylinder) can run 11.4's! They're going to break 12 this year.
All of the pullys were made at a local machine shop, and turned out beautifully. (get it turned lol)
Bob's turbo, even bigger than Dave's. He's boosting near 30PSI!
The motor.
It looks like his car is driving out of heaven!
While I was goofing off with the camera, dave was working on the Truckdoza.
He was disconnecting the clutch cable I guess.
We didn't want to take the door card off to give the mirror a little refresher so we taped off the truck instead.
Some of the other trim getting a nice blackening.
Dave rigged up an improved clutch pedal pin.
I started buffing the lenses. The one on the left is buffed, the one on the right not. It's kind of hard to tell the difference.
This one shows it a little better.
They look real good in real life.
The back filling up!
Getting into some electrical stuff.
Dave's Box-O-Connectors is way better than mine! New wiring harness for the fog lights.
The back bumper will be seeing soe improvement soon!

Hmmm, which one do we use? Actually I was doing some shoulder presses, trying to beef up.

That's all for this episode!
