getting there 99 Amigo
 
I really been trying to stay on task with restoring and upgrading my 99 Amigo. Seems like I cross a few off the list and and add few more. Been on it for the last four years but really got serious last year. At least I can start driving it now. The real incentive was buying the tires and wheels last year not being able to put them on. A lot of the work has been fighting the rust issues on the frame and undercarriage, about 2/3rds of way complete with that The list of what has been done is long and at some point I will lay it all out. Here is a picture

Thnx 4 the reply n pm; thanks 4 all the info u share!! Now i will do my list; lot of way to go, but building the truck is part of the fun!!
I bought a 99 Amigo that was almost in junkyard, lots of rust under, as it was driven on beach... I decided to rescue the Amigo as is hard to find a 4x4 V6 imported (legaly lol), so i bought a 2wd 99 Amigo as a donor. Now both are in the workshop; hopefully, next month will be finished n be ready for paint.

Once agan, Thnx 4 ur Reply!
Blessings,

Anyone mechanical interested in purchasing my 2001 Isuzu Rodeo Sport (Amigo) White V6 Automatic 4x4 Soft Top? Transmission is slipping and steering needs to be fixed. 110k ish miles. Everything other than that is working, Calmini lift kit on it as well. I'm in the Chicago suburbs.
