Once I take possession of my B Body I'll let you know for sure. Chances are I'll take one.

Just FYI If that's a 77-85 B body you don't need a bracket to mount a CB, just take the ashtray out and flip that bracket over. Fits perfectly.

Who wants to get the hi lift?

You guys can just borrow mine, unless someone was about to buy one anyway. It's a 48" all-cast.

Sometrac then? Or V6 swap, then it's pretty much Notrac.

So I know that being nice to the cars and doing preventative maintenance is sort of outside the point of this thing but I've got half a case of OE oil filters just kicking around that happen to fit that Celica, you guys want a couple?

Don't want to say too much since it's one of those 'stars and planets have to align' type things but a friend and I might be in for this. A shell exists and it's free if I can find a powertrain and get it installed.

I tried.

Would have been a great way to see the ol' girl off/CARRY IT TO THE GATES OF VALHALLA SHINY AND CHROME etc etc, but it wasn't meant to be. We're officially not in. That said if anyone's looking for a cheap Foxbody with no powertrain and some mild drag prep I know a guy.
Also Switch/Slung whichever of you is most likely to be available on a Tuesday or Wednesday fire me a PM and I'll give you some filters.

I know it's not the right year/configuration, but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOQeD6XjGos is stuck in my head after seeing that first one.

(Fieros are getting stupid cheap!)

wait what? my brother got one (and not even a bad one, it was in drat good shape other than the fact that it was duke/3spd auto) for like $300 in 09. All the ones I've seen in the past couple years have been $2k+

I'll talk to the boss on Monday, I should be able to leave early on the 16th (but I can head over either way, it'll just be a little brief if I work the full day) and I'll bring the Hilift. I've got a brand new recovery strap too, and I might be able to secure some chain as well.

If anyone needs last-minute junkyard bits I'll be hitting the yards Wednesday or Thursday.
Couldn't get Saturday covered but if nothing major breaks this week I can still punch out for noon and head over (if that's cool). If I have to put a full day in it'll be more like 6 or 7 and a relatively short visit.
All the out-of-service chain was scrapped last month (dammit) and the only one that's gone into the pile since was goddamn 1/2", any significant/useful length of that stuff would seriously cut into your gear capacity (and just generally be a pain in the rear end to lug around) so I left it to rust.

Don't have a particular yard in mind, need some truck stuff and GMT800s are everywhere.

You could always find someone who's wrecking RVs, see if they've got a cheap working roof mount and forge your destiny with a sawzall, self-tappers and RTV...

e: V Precisely. Plus an A/C delete/relocation takes some load and air restriction off the apparently strained factory cooling system, bonus nachos.

Direct swamp coolers tend to induce a lot of humidity though (and if Toyotas love operating in any condition, it's high humidity lol) , and unless someone's got an intercooler or other efficient fluid heat exchanger kicking around an indirect swamp cooler is going to take a little more engineering than anyone has time for at this point I think.
E: Not to say that my idea is all that practical either, though installing a hitch on the Hellica and bolting a small genset to a trailer is not a time consuming process.

I wouldn't pay more than $500 for everything. Like the whole lower subframe with LCA's and the idler arm.

Do you need the full k-member? Cause that won't fit in my car, and my truck is far too sketchy for a trip like that.
I'm meeting the guy with the red car late tomorrow morning.

So where are we at on this? I've got cash, tools and I'm a 5 minute drive away from kijiji red car guy. Am I pulling the xmember, just the parts SSS listed or are you guys going to try the brown car?

Other way round, a +55 on a car meant for +32 will need spacers, not flares (if anything)
