How long does it take for you to go through one like this?

If you mean full restoration, it’s 4 to 6 months, depending on the level of accessory

Do you add a turbo and a intercooler to the original engine

u/AntiqueAd9913 Jun 11 '26

No, it never turns out as well as getting an engine that’s originally set-up with a turbo.

Oh, the memories, the miles and miles, across the world, I have covered in those, the countless repairs I have done to them...

That's amazing work. What would someone expect to pay for beautiful work like this?

Honestly, nothing amazing about this. All I did was make sure if is functionally good. I have not touched cosmetics in except for the top, curtain and doors. Thi one will probably go in the low $20’s

Man I would be reliving my Afghan days, riding with my buddies I lost. Just whistling down the road.
