So i believe this makes me a REAL member of TR! w00t! been working on her for a while now, but just getting a thread up, slow start. well She is an '09, that left my possession for about 6 months and got trashed... hence our first pic

and thats after being cleaned up.....

I had long decided i wanted to do a gy6 swap, just would feel better in traffic, so i got the ball rolling with an AK Garagworks mount and one of his rims(also fet the need to go fatty), while hunting around i found this gem for a steal! 100 bucks!

frame, suspension and motor(running i might add) made my day.

started out as a budget build but im sure ive broken that goal, so its a semi budget build, parts list isnt too fancy, but i really love cutting stuff up





well i think thats enough for now, ill put up pics of the pretty shiny stuff later. hehe
btw
big thanks to(no special order)
AK Garageworks
Dorby
and John from composimo

these 3 guys have helped me figure everything out and gave me the parts i needed to get this done!
and lastly
my Buddy Derek Arnett for all the welding and getting it where it is, wouldnt be this far without him.
thanks guys! will have more up later and plan on having this all done within a month!(hopeful)
Oh and the car in the background is free for anybody that comes and gets it(dont ask for my help though) :p

i dont see a car....i see a lawnmower and ill take that lol

looks like a good start bro!! are you puttin your taillight in that notch you cut in the rear of the frame????

the car is outside the garage.... you can barely see it lol.
and
yes the tail light is going in the notch, its a led light similar to the turtlehead.

sweet man! cant wait to see how it turns out!

ooooh Shiny, heres most of the little goodies going on the ruck.

I love Goooooooold. YSS 245 shock, adjustable spring rate, should look real nice.


front brake setup from Dorby


LEDS


and these I just couldnt help, thought they were pretty awesome.



And heres what ive been up tp, slowly getting everything ready for paint anthracite grey, its an acura color


ill try and keep some steady updates, progress is sorta slow atm.

someones gana say it so i might as well first... composimo bracket welded on backwards. but looks good thogh!

You bought that wheel & weld on from me foreverrr ago.Good to see your finally using it.

lol i probably never would have noticed either...

and trust me, i am too alex! been building up my parts pile! but those were definitely the starting points for this.

nice! cant wait to see it assembled!

well i should be getting 3 more boxes this week! should be the last of the parts i need, just waiting to get the rear frame cleaned up and paint on everything and it will be assembly time!

I know your already welded the composimo bracket, but you can always cut it out to make a type of a circle design. Sucks that it's on backwards, composimo's work is worth advertising.

i just figure that the people will see the "C" correctly in their rearview mirror haha, ill probably fix it at one point if it bugs me enough, would be too hard to cut it off and weld it back on...

yeah cutting and welding off sounds like a pain already. fill it in with bondo! haha just kidding.
