Pictures of the parts car.
the quote from my other car forum for the extraction:
Quote:
The day started out wonderfully when I dropped my cellphone into the toilet while pissing. It only went uphill from there.
Oxman and I borrowed my coworkers slammed Dually pickup and trailer to go pick up the Starion. Duallies shouldn't scrape when driven sideways out of parking lots. Onward we went towards Wine country, full of vim and vigor, eagerly looking forward to picking up my new car.
A bit too eager, the weather was warm and as it turned out Oxman felt more comfortable riding in the car sans pants
The last 20 miles of the trip or so to the dude's house were tight winding mountain road, which quite frankly was scary to drive on with a lowered dually and trailer. Finally getting to his house, we were confronted with a rutted dirt hill road, where the owner had to back our truck down the hill, flip it around, and back it back up to try to load the Starion.
It was around this time I noticed the copious quantities of black widow webs inside the Starion.
So it was on the way back home that we lost the brakes. The rears just stopped working and we kind of started locking up the front randomly. We almost plowed into a car at a stoplight and ran into the brakedown lane. We had to nurse the truck home about another 80 miles using the engine shifting to simulate braking, and we had a couple other hairy encounters.
Well it's home, motherfuckers. Suck my dick.
The scope of the D50 project changed. I originally picked it up for free from a guy that said I could have it for free if I got it running. Drove it for about 200 miles and found it had blown a head gasket on every cylinder, cracked the head, and spun a bearing. While dead in the water on parts I began going crazy on fucking with its appearance because hey, free ratty minitruck. Everyone should have one little beater they don't really give a shit about at least once in their life, this was mine. Now just as I was finishing the rebuild of the original motor the Starion fell in my lap.
Here's pics of my D50, so named the Froot Truck.

Fucking around with the dash, I painted it purple green colorshift paint and added stickers.
