here is my repu project aka ''LEGO''.picked it up from a friend who had plans of restoreing it,but due to some personnal issues,had to let her go.its been fully body prepped ready for paint,but i'd rather invest on getting it running first.and not to mention to only have paid a whopping $1k w some extra misc goodies included!it is definetly a project,so plenty of updates to come!

 

Congrats bruddah! I'm glad it's a different color other than blue lol (nothing wrong with blue, but most of SoCals REPU's are blue):

 

Sometimes i wish i was a california guy!!!!!!lol

 

true that,there is too many blue repu's in l.a...lol.

 

Gold mind over there !

 

I am really finding myself wanting one of these trucks...I also like the look of the early b series pickups like 78-84 model years and then do a rotary swap

 

get urself a repu,u wont b dissapointed

 

 

good carb but you have no motor lolllll

 

not a big problem if i yank my motor out of my gsl se bro!

 

picked up some wheels for lego.thier pro comp 15x 9's" w a nice 3.5''in lip.idk the offset,but hopefully they dont stick out too much!i will test fit them tomorrow.

 

i did a test fit earlier today n found out they r actually a 15x10'' rims,so they stuck out wayyyy tooo much!!

 

measure the backspace (inches). thats more reliable to use than offset

 

the backspace was fine,they just stuck out about 3 inches out of the fender!!!! they were sold on craigslist within 2-4 hrs after i posted them!

 

but thats OK too if you want a flashback of the mid-80s when minitrucks were rolling around with stretched out tires and a boom boom boom

 

Like this wacky lol.nothing but mini trucks in the video.

i went ahead and started pulling the motor out of my fb to install into the repu.its a gsl se 13b 6 port street port block done by pineapple racing(purchased by previous owner of my fb)its got roughly about 15k mls so lego should have plenty of pep!!just waiting to pick up a 79 0r 80 5spd trans b4 it gets dropped in!

 

Sweet man looks like lego will be back on its feet soon

 

thnx.hopefully its ready by SSX14.

 

finally got some work done to lego....installed a fb 5spd trans sporting a spiffy b&m shift **** & also mounted my msd coils...

 

heres how the shortened & modified shifter looks,shoulda posted these before the install...thanks to rotarydave for the custom job!
