Project Barn Built

Rears are 16x8 with 43 mm adapters. Fronts are 16x7 with 38.5 mm adapters. I am working on a set of 16x9's so I can put the 16x8's up front, and move some tires around for more stretch then a bigger adapter up front.

If for some reason you don't see the need for center caps, please give them to me. I have ARE's and would like some. :)

Here are some pics taken by Mike at Fluid Motor Union (btw these guys are amazing and do basically any work you throw at them):

WARNING: I AM PARKED ON A SPEED BUMP IN THIS PICTURE. THIS WAS WHERE I WAS PARKED WHEN I WALKED TO THE CAR AND DIDNT FEEL LIKE MOVING IT BEFORE I TOOK ONE. I AM NOT TRYING TO PRETEND THAT MY EXHAUST IS .5 INCH OFF THE GROUND.

This looks great!

Get car, get BBS, go low as possible

I think this quote is worthy of quoting. In fact, i think i will put it in my signature.

for a little while anyway.

Hey I am gonna do shadowline soon. When you did the rear doors did you paint it with the door open or did you just mask everything and paint it with the door closed?

The rear kink is the hardest part to paint.

Just put a length of tape under the lip of the chrome trim. you should be able to slide it underneath with no problem. i left the doors closed the whole time and it worked fine and the paint seemed to get into the areas below the door line. the only issue i have is where the slider clamp piece is on the back end of the drip rail, since it can be moved along the rail it has moved a 10th of an inch and i can see exposed chrome now.

I think this warrants the creation of a slammed 4-door-on-dishweaves-club. I hope to be a member of it someday.

Looks great for a $300 find!!! Love the early look. I've got plans on dropping my '87 about 2-3 inches overall for that slammed 4 door look!! Black car with flat black Rotas for now. Haven't firmed up the overall paint yet.

Well I finally got a chance to test fit the OZs, and well, it was less than exciting. The seller told me they were only 10.5" wide, he was short by 1".

The barrels are waaay to wide and hit the suspension as well as the unibody. Not to mention the massive poke already. So its either rebuild with smaller barrels or space them out even further and completely rebuild the fender arches. Not what i feel like doing right now.

So I test fit the D90's as well just to give myself a comparison.

Oh and i picked up coilover sleeves the other day so i can build some proper suspension

Bonus points to whoever can identify that car on the right ;)

I was going to say golf... But I scrolled up a bit and now I'm thinking Volvo? Pics please either way :D

Dude. Pick up some spare rear quarter panels, cut them up and get some IE flares and run the OZs. Would be so hawt.
