FC guys... What other non FC projects do you have?

my blazer 2wd

I am wanting to sell it though, got a fuel pump on the way that I need to install.. I want to pick up a first gen 80s toyota 4x4 or 4runner. Im not too much of a fan of domestic vehicles or the problems they bring.

something like this
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...9/DSC03338.jpg
but I dont expect to get one built like that, I just like them and want to try wheeling. Than im gonna run it on HHO hybrid http://www.hhoforums.com/showthread....6453#post46453

Having low cars all my life, I have taken an interest in trucks hahaha, Probably get some bucket 4runner on craigslist and hopefully have a few bucks leftover to clean it up.

Hoping to start work soon as a field service technician, Was hired like 3 months ago but haven't started. Looking to pay off my student loan and have a good dailly driver while I rebuild my fc. Been too broke to finish it.

I do claim myself as a car guy though, appreciate all forms of cars. My dad loves nascar, I don't mind it. I am a big formula 1 fan though. I love exotic super cars.. I would love to build a porsche 911 70s chassis someday, or even a 308 GTB to GTO body conversion, this one is pretty sweet http://members.home.nl/bertkanters/ , I don't mind kitcars either, I would love to build a Factory Five MKIV cobra replica.

Wait... there are cars out there other than my FC? :scratch:

I guess my other "project" is my SRT-4, though just fixing the little things that were flawed with it when I bought it (nothing mechanical, it's been a dream so far). It's about 340WHP now.

https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-non-technical-pictures-198/cousin-rx7-971751/ Project "LUCE UNIT" just bought the ole' girl Lucy off an old man. After various problems (Leaks ie: the stupid mazda tee coolant pipe that always claggs out. spark plugs and a horrible lifter tick which i fixed. Runs smoooooth now) a couple more, I will lower it and put the wheels off my FC on it for now. And maybe save for a trusy ROTANG CONVERSION.

ben.farnath 10-07-11 09:43 PM

probably pillage a few more parts out the fc while its not going.

tuscanidream 10-08-11 08:18 AM

Done with my 02 ZX6R. I might be selling it and saving to buy a ten next year. Then the addiction will start all over again... after I finish my rx7 of course. :)

Loads of other stuff. You can't keep me away from building something for very long. :)

Currently I'm restoring my '76 Cosmo:

I do all kinds of weird little projects.

For example, last winter I made a little air compressor for blowing out electronics.

http://www.aaroncake.net/projects/12vminicompressor.htm

http://www.aaroncake.net/projects/12...ompressor1.jpg

This spring I upgraded my C & H compressor with a 2 cylinder 14 CFM pump and 5HP motor:

Made a bicycle cart last summer.

http://www.aaroncake.net/projects/bikecart11.jpg

In the summer of 2009 I built an aluminum 48V ~1000W electric scooter:

http://www.aaroncake.net/projects/48vscooter.htm

http://www.aaroncake.net/projects/48vscooter32.jpg

It's an aluminum tube frame skinned with 1/16" panels. The batteries are under the deck, the controller and motor are mounted just in front of the rear wheel.

http://www.aaroncake.net/projects/48vscooter29.jpg

Late winter/early spring of 2009 I made a digital clock out of copper plate for my shop, sort of a half Steampunk half old exit sign design.

http://www.aaroncake.net/projects/copperclock.htm

http://www.aaroncake.net/projects/copperclock_small.jpg

Here's an aluminum TIG welding cart I made several years ago for my EconoTIG:

In 2004, an damaged eccentric shaft and associated stationary gears became a lamp:

That lamp is bad ass. I bet there'd be a market for those on here.

I think shipping would be an issue...it weighs about 120LBs. The base is solid steel.

beefhole 10-09-11 12:00 PM

Old Bronco FTW! I don't like trucks/suv's/large vehicles but I would totally rock a Bronco. :)

Just working on brakes (for now)
Been tracking during the past 2 summers. The bug has bitten.

Excellent point! Haha



My project at the moment is polishing my pistol. It was originally blues, but is now mostly polished to a mirror finish. Let me tell you, it's a pain in the ass to get all the small spots shining.
