First of all, out of my garage! Since it sat for a long time without operating, I have a lot of work to do just to get it road worthy. I have changed the plugs, distributer cap, rotor, fuel filter, air/oil filters, PCV valve, and Idle Air Control Valve over the last few weeks. I still need to repair much of the vaccuum system, replace the EGR and transmission filter/gasket, and clean the entire throttle body. Hopefully that will get me close to a fully functioning engine. So, what other repairs are needed? Easy...air conditioning, wiper fluid pump, cruise control, shift indicator, and steering column repair. That will make the EC fully functional.
Once all of that is finished, I will replace the entire dash, convert the interior to black and gray, switch to power locks/windows and upgrade to satellite radio. I am still debating replacing the bench seats with buckets.
Once I have the beast overhauled, the last step will be painting the exterior, adding a bedliner and bed lid, and then driving everywhere to show it off. I know you still have one question...what color will it be? I have decided to go with ultramarine blue. It is a color derived from the gemstone lapis lazuli. The sample below should give you an idea of what it will look like.
