UJOR Build Thread

This popped up on some Facebook car enthusiast page and the butthurt has reached freakin Legendary level. Well done !

lol, its insane! This car would take a fortune to be "nice". A small one just to get road worthy and even then it wouldn't be a nice car. Guys are offering to but parts off it, not worth the time or effort. Or $$.

SteelBlue7.3 was here over the weekend, came in today for some rear bags, ck up and a tire rotation.

Who made the roof rack?

Not sure, somebody in CA. The interior shop had it made, I can't remember their name right now.

How is a 6" with 33's? That's the way I've been leaning towards but was wondering if it looked funny.

There are a few examples on the website, most of the RVs have that setup too.

With regards to 6" lift and 33's. My buddy would say, "Tuxedo with high waters".

On the ground! 6" 5.4 on progressive springs. Still needs exhaust, rear skid with Deka battery, Aluminess F/R, lights, plenty to do!

Another touchdown for the week! Productive day, the VA7.3 is on the ground and ready for fuel then alignment.

I'm not a "Z" type of guy really and even if it's a rust bucket, why?
More fans of those cars who might be potential future clients will remember that than the folks who think it was cool... the internet remembers.

Most of the motor was missing, wiring a mess, rust, bad body repairs in the past, would take a small fortune to be road worthy. Its been sitting at the shop covered up for ~2 years, owner said get rid of it & I don't have time to deal with selling or pulling parts so it went to scrap. It was actually the owners idea to drive on it so we just did as he wished I just needed more parking lot space since we're running out!

If somebody gets butt hurt about us driving up on a car they've never seen I don't want them as customers anyway.

RS drive today. Still amazed and in love with this car

I haven't used the Sherpa camper in a year since V4 was torn down. I debated on whether to setup the new suspension to handle the weight, decided that I don't want to deal with that so its trailer time! Now I'll be able to pull it behind V4, V7 or the Transit. We have the design done, material got cut up today. Trying to keep it low for stability but still functional since it was designed to work on the flatbed. I have an idea for some ramps that will also help with leveling. I'll post pics as we make progress.
