[bpmack16]

I was going to spend the day on sunday finishing the front end but ran in to a problem. I had to do wat calvin did and grind the hell out of a 22mm socket to get it to fit in the front strut tower. But all and all I got some of it dun.



New rims that I am thinking of selling not shure if they will fit because they are 18x8.5. I had 18's on the car before but they were 18x7 so I am looking to get 1300 obo fro all 6 rims and tires.

[daniel]

they may fit but the tires are too big i think.

UPDATE: the fronts are on and ready to go. i just had an issue pressing on the CA bushings so I greated mu own bushing press.


I had the CA on a jack and a socket on the other end over the bushing and jacked it up under my Dodge 1500's bumper. Worked like a charm.


Today the rears are going on.

SO most of the parts are in just waiting on the rear end. I amrunning late getting this project dun because I have so many going at once, I am at the end and am waiting on small parts that are taking forever to get in and hung up on the e brake set up. so I went to get the tires mounted on the CSL's and thanks to Tom at D- force wheels they came back refinished and looking better than new. Thanks Tom. So i got the front together and waithin ong the rear end. here are some pics. ENJOY
