I now Have this little beauty home. I had it trailer-ed home as it drove OK, it had no way to stop, so first stop figure out why we have no brakes and when you do hit the brakes the engine revs up tried the e-brake crap nothing there either time to dig in and call OGTS. The P.O. said he had the brakes, Pads, hoses ect. all redone which he indeed did but there was a different issue BAD BRAKE BOOSTER.

My son and I made our first order with the upgraded 9" master cylinder, Brake booster package. Unfortunately I had not thought of taking any pictures at that time as I was not one to record progress or stuff I tinker on. But I will tell you this was as terrible of a job as it gets. While I was there I new there was issues with the wiring for the front end specifically the head lights so might as well correct that as well while we are here.

AWE the joys of the head lights not to bad once you have a hang of what the heck your doing. I was so intrigued on the engineering of the mechanism back in that day I couldn't stop picking it up and playing with it even though my work for the day was done.here's the little booger coming out which exposed why the lights didn't work or rotate properly.

EDIT why can't I pull pics from my desktop to post here when I click image it doesn't allow me to grab from photos on my computer
