    Another waste of time and money

    I live in Chicago and my S2000 sucks in the snow.

    So I got this truck to drive in the winter and haul my ruckus around in the summer:



    Then I slammed it:



    Then winter came:



    Snow started going away:





    The truck barely went 60mph so in the winter when everyone was driving slow it was fine, but keeping up with traffic in the spring was no match for the motor so I ended up blowing the head gasket. I was not gonna spend money to fix something that was so slow and my S2000 had just come out of the body shop so I drove that and the truck sat all summer.

    After it sat for a few months I decided to follow in a friends footsteps and put a Honda K20 motor into the truck so it would be reliable and a bit more fun. Originally I was just gonna throw the motor into the truck in a rat rod fashion and just make it run, not worry about what it looks like. Because money was not available at the time and I had a lot of time on my hands I decided to go all out and build it slowly as money came.



    ... and it begins:





    Laser Cut Mounts







    Bay welded and primered:
