Well I was following the pier paul build, looking for ideas for this Tracker I had wrecked. I had all this money in new bearings breaks, axles, tie rods, blah, blah, blah, so in an attempt to not loose all the money I had tied up in this black one, and a wasted trip to Michigan on a supposed rust free one, I found this red one for $600 a mile away from mi casa. So I got it! The red one has a rusted shock tower and a bad driver door, best unmolested one I've ever seen though, but it's two wheel drive and sometimes it just shuts off and won't start (think it's a wiring issue), then sometimes it runs, The black one is four wheel drive and has never let me down, but it needs a new rearend. It has a bent driver side rear axle, which I hadn't discovered until I had repalce the rear bearings and axle seals and it was still leaking.
So I want to repair the minor rust on the red one, bed line the tub, clean up and line the frame, swap drive lines, wiring, interior, dash, while installing a new clutch, timing belt kit, swap third members to use rearend and third housing off the red one since the factory powder coat is still in great condition, and if I can find a used calmini 3" lift kit (I've missed out on three now on CL). I want it used cause there is a budget and I want powder coat it, I don't want blue.
