Today I was basically told to just get the wiring done and the guys will do the rest. It's good for me because I am starting school in 5 days, so it's gonna be up to the rest to get the truck running.

I started work on the clutch slave cylinder and the GM (Welder) alternator, and that was it. Since then I've been doing nothing but wiring. I dont know how long I can stay awake tonight, but I am going to press on right now and get some more wiring finished. By tomorrow I will have the wires sorted on the T100 harness and begin integrating it with the Hilux wires..

When the frame conversion was done, the gas tank support was cut out, brake lines removed, on board air lines removed, ARB air locker lines cut, body mounts and bolts missing, yadda yadda yadda.

In addition, many parts are missing from this engine, as it has been sitting in the shop for about 20 months, so I've been looking up part numbers on the micro phische and sourcing used parts from wrecking yards. I hope to get some needed parts in tomorrow....

There is alot of work that must be finished for the round up. This truck must be there and I have no doubt that it will.

Here's a pic of Marlin's Welder installed using the FACTORY 3RZ ALT Mounts! Yes, no modifications required! :booya:
And lastly, here's a pic of what happens when your pinky finger wacks a body panel at a very high velocity :thumbs:

I will *try* to get some pics posted tomorrow. Cya!
