Default finally started the rebuild of the samurai

so is a 1986 Suzuki samurai with a 12a..... ok so i took over this project if you are going to critique the wheels please dont post i bought it with the wheels i dont know if i like them yet they are 20" wheels here is how i bought it:

So we started by taking out the eng to se what we were working with



after opening up the eng i dont even know how it was running you got to love a 12a
the rotors and housing are no good not even the 3mm apex seals can fix them so if anyone know where i could get a hold of 1 12a housing and the rotors hit me up. i recived all the parts for the sami but there is still much work

this harnest is worth less i bought one from ez wiring
almost all cleaned up getting it ready fro paint

the i removed the dash and all the wires

i am replacing it with an all aluminum one just like this one

this is the set up im going with:
12a half BP all seals replased with atkins (apex, side, and solid corner, 93 corner spring) replacing everything with new
stage 1 exedy clutch
with a holley 600
holley blue fuel pump
all new electronic gauges (found a place that would custom make the speedo sending unit)
the samurai had the rear end replaced with a dana 44 so i bought 4.55 ring and pinion with all new install kit
i will keep up dating the pictures

new pics 99% done
