Great thread, love to read through the progress.


I need to meet some of you guys!

[Butler]

Your car is awesome! I remember seeing it at the picnic this summer. I know I took some pictures of it but I can only find this one of your wheels right now. I'll post the others if I find them. :D



Keep up the good work. I love watching the progress.

Installed front suspension.

New wheel bearings/dust caps

Yesterday I got new front wheel bearings. Ordered them from Blunt on tuesday and they came the next day. I'm going to put them on my new shortened front strut housing and intall them this weekend.

Today my car hit 234567 miles.


I have also been thinking about switching out my 3.25 diff and installing a 2.93.

Can we get good side shots with those wheels and tires?

All I have are pics people took at the picnic. It really needs IS side skirts put on.

Washed my spoiler-less trunk lid.


Gave it a quick polish and wax and cleaned out the gutter around the trunk while the trunk was off.


And then I installed my euro grills.

Finished my car the day before the picnic and have been driving it all summer. Now that the weather is shitty again I can finish all the little stuff that I did not get to do.

How the car sits now.
