It's been awhile since I posted but works been steady on the wagon.
2many, if Jory hadn't found a tech article on the H body forums about converting to S10 brakes all around I would've jumped on those wheels. I bought a ball joint conversion kit on ebay for the front. Then front spindles from Scott at ABE Auto Salvage, he's been a life saver!! Jory found rear axles at a local junkyard along with a posi unit which will go in after it gets on the road. And to top it off Daddy donated a set of used 15" Rally II's We were dying to see how it looked with the wheels so my parents were nice enough to offer being the engine & trans to see it closer to ride heighth. Daddy doesn't look too comfy

And while Jory's been busy on all the mechanical/body... I've been dying interior panels. It'll have a great engine compartment & interior
Here's some before & the after shots. Jory had to fix the crack in the left rear panel. It turned out pretty good!

Since we swapped trannys we can't use the factory speedo. So it'll have a custom gauge cluster. It's not done yet but here's a sneak preview.

Jory's been doing more than just saturday work on the car itself. He's been getting the engine cleaned, assembled & painted. And installed
And as you can see, once we got the S10 brakes figured out he finished the brake system up. The clutch is also done other than a hydraulic line will have to be made. The trans & torque arm are in also

The intake is from the S10 so it was set up for fuel injection. Jory modified it & made a carb adapter plate so we can use the original Astre carb
And then Daddy blasted & clear coated the intake for us. Jory finished rebuilding the carb today. It may get fitted on tomorrow.

I had a great Christmas!!!!
Jory bought me a distributer, it's a monster! He also bought me a stereo & speakers but we're not ready for those yet. Daddy bought me tires, whoo hoo!! Jory mounted them on the Rally's and hopefully they'll go on tomorrow too. Stay tuned...

Niiiice, but I vote for a 215 Buford / 3.5 Rover V8 / 5 speed combo for the heart -
