Did the late model half shadowline thing.



Almost ready to GTFO.

awesome.

[Wishno87]

Ya for sure man. I will take a gander when you post it up.

Man I would love one but it will be a few weeks until I get any money I can keep.

Ok well I parted a full euro 85 so I have one that I would give you a bro price on. Posting a new FS thread tomorrow with the euro parts included. But if your interested maybe we can work something out

[Wishno87]

Hey wishno, looking for an early model euro valance?

Me and my GF's cars.


Something for the somewhat near future.

And the Bilsteins handle those rates just fine?

No really. They don't really feel strong enough. Not horrible though so I don't expect to change shocks unless I shorten my housings.

I have a good impact every couple if weeks. Luckily its on the rear side of the plate by the subframe where its strongest. I've been dragging it on my gravel driveway too lately. Smash yours yet?

Yeah, stupid hard. Construction zone with steel plates on the road. I drove at the last minute around a ninja plate and ended up in two grooves with a huge hump of concrete in the center. Thought I tore the car in half. Pulled over at a gas station not 200ft from where it happened and it was just the skid plate that was fuckered up. Had to take it off, beat it out and re install. Haven't since but I also brought the nose up a good 3/4 of an inch.

575f/800r is what I'm on and it's a bit stiff for the DD duties (~90 miles 5 days a week). How often do you cringe about your oil pan? ;)

This car will probably stay m10 powered. The body isint in the best condition so I don't know if Victor will want to spend the money to swap it. How much did you get the sedan for?

$2,000. M42 with 140xxx miles and pretty straight body. Paint shines like a motherfucker and a lot of the maintenance items Parker has already tackled. It's a fantastic, reliable family 4 door ;)
