the old in and out / 86 powertrain replace

[slacker]

I have a bunch of pics , but I never posted them before ..
its an /86 4x4 and she's been real good to me .. it's my work truck and DD , campin' rig , so she sees some abuse , 350 kelometers and a little worse for wear.

I bought "wright off" a while back .. real nice unit with only 120 kelometers on the clock .. second owner vechicle that was stolen and recovered .

anyway ..

so it was time for some work .. I had "stripped" the complete powertrain from the other truck and it has been sitting in my shop for a # of months just waiting for the time to replace . no time , I just had to get it done .

so with that .. today was the day .

Brayden and I went to work pulling the complete powertrain out of the old girl ..

rear was first ...

Nice to see you kept the 'ol truck running instead of jumping into a new one. Like your logo says "Keepin' the drive alive" :thumbup:
