Lots left to do, need to get an alignment today. Then take it home fab up some mounts for the front bumper and modify my shifter hole in the tranny tunnel. The 5 speed and 4x shifters hit and won't stay in gear.

That's a ton of work in one weekend. Looking really good.

Gotta figure out how to make the shifters work... with the body lift it won't go into first gear.

Also having problems bleeding brakes, any tips on bleeding the ABS system?

Try gravity bleeding the ABS unit, then bleed the brakes as usual.

Try gravity bleeding the ABS unit, then bleed the brakes as usual.

What's the procedure on that?

What's the procedure on that?

Just take a wrench to each of the hoses coming from the top of your ABS unit (one at a time) until you start to see brake fluid, then tighten. It should help get all the air out of the lines. You might have a friend lightly press on the brake pedal when you do this to try and push the air through. Then bleed your brakes as usual.

Still working on the brake bleeding problem.

But I did get the shifter problem resolved. I cut the shifter at the base where its the straightest after marking it with a pen so I could clock it back to the stock position. I also taped the base so I wouldn't get stuff down in the base, plus I wrapper a piece of tape around where I wanted to cut so I could make a strait cut. Then I welded an 1.5" piece back in. I also marked it down the middle so I could line up all the lines before welding.

Now it shifts like it did stock

Started on the front bumper project, I need to build some mounting brackets and widen it to fit with the sport flares. But it here's what it looks like.

Spent Saturday doing the first round of fender trimming. I'm going to have to do more but I wanted to do it in stages, not real fond of cutting huge holes in the firewall for no reason. So here's what I did so far.

Sorry for the crappy cell pics
