We'll start off with updates from the last project, the Ecto replica.



I finished it, took some fancy pictures of it, enjoyed it for a bit, and sold it already. Now on to one of the things I've wanted to own as a kid! The Jurassic Park tour vehicle.

I was randomly searching on FB one day and saw this 1994 Ford Explorer XLT in Denver. It had the best interior I had ever seen on an explorer along with only 140k miles. I had some friends in the area go check it out for me, one was an auto inspector, and they said it was in fantastic shape mechanically. Which is what I need because I only know how to make things look pretty.

Small **** for right now, all the big stuff will most likely start happening in the middle of August to September.







One of the first things I did was tear off that ****ty plastic trim along the bottom. These were added to the 93-94 I believe and they just clip on. They weren't in the movie so I have some holes to fill




Yaaay quarter panel rust, as expected. Just on one side though. Easy fix.


Of course I had to go ahead and put the mirror tag up, 04 baby!



Cruise control didn't work, so I did some googling and found out what the hell ever a speed control amplifier is and where it's at. Fixed that.




Mirror switch was gone, ordered a used one off of ebay and slapped that together.




AC doesn't work either, I just got all the components in yesterday to fix that, so I'll be doing that tomorrow. More to come soon!

Whoever said this was gay should be shot.

The only thing that could possibly be less gay than this is the Jurassic Park Jeep Wrangler. But we're already approaching levels of straightness previously unknown to science so I wouldn't worry about it.

I had a friend who took on this project. He got so into it. He was poor and could only afford to do so much work at any given time like paint sections of the vehicle weeks apart.

He also got the employee clothes for it, and surprised his girlfriend with her own costume. A few people who do this in CA would all drive their JP vehicles to San Diego Animal Park and camp as a little nerdy get together.

Did you profit at all on the Ecto? How do you even find a buyer for that?
