I figured I may as well start a mini build thread on this one too.... This is kinda a continuation of my other project in under construction " project F smog" which is probably a few pages back by now.
For those not familiar, Basically i was building a 2wd c20 into a 4x4 k20 in my driveway, someone called the city, so had to move the vehicle inside my garage via a friendly neighbor using his f250 to push it in. No steering and a locked up axle made it a real hassle.... Also pulling it in and out to continue the build his really not an option by myself.
So I bought this little thing like a week later... asked $2200, low balled $1400 and got it for $1700. Compared to some other test drives, she Drove great, and had immaculate engine bay, so snatched it up. Was fine until a week or so later when the check engine light came on, when I realized he did the individual check engine clearout. So I took her to AutoZone to read what the problem is...
Now I have a decent tool collection, but I can't get to them with the k20 in the way, so had to use their code reader which produced 3 codes p0420, catalytic bank one efficiency low, something about pirge threshold low, and another on which I think the new gas cap fixed.
I spent $ on a smh diagnostic and basically had $300 tune up done. I still have a steering rack leak, and need a new cat... but she runs great. Paid registration, but need smog (go figure) smh
The goal of this is to make a mobile crane to bullbar the k20 in and out, and also use a front winch.
Here's the pictures to catch you up...
