Beautiful truck, but what's up with the manual mirrors? Those Dumbo mirrors look a little out of place.

Re: Ty#0318 rebirth

I'm after refreshing the engine...

After few days of happiness engine don't want to start.
I've found that engine oil is much over the level and is mixed with a fuel.
Today I have checked injectors. Two of them leak very badly.

New cylinder heads installed.
After two months of wating I get a new turbo cartridge.
Some 10mm spark plug wire arrived too.

It was like below after it lost compression. Crooked pushrod caused compression problem but I found it after heads unscrew.

I get new oil indicator tube finally. I had to remove turbo and header once again to install it correctly.

I have to replace fuel lines with a fuel sending unit and tank now.
Then after a year I will try to start the engine.
I can't wait.

Sweet build! Love the red carpet! I am going to go back to red on my firebird one of these days!

What are the wheel specs? Offset and widths? I am going to try and run a set of Work Equips I found out here in Japan...
