Abby, my AWII build thread

any comments on the yellows??? sick or ick?

[ThisGuy310]

With the way the car sits now, I MUCH prefer the stock clear high beams.
But my opinion is worth exactly what you paid for it...

White with red looks f-ing ballin. I think the yellow takes away from the minty car, it draws all the attention to the lights. I'm running yellow bulbs so the high beam reflects somewhat yellow but is not too out there.

[mkcman17]

yeah i hear what you're sayin bout the highs. just looks like such a stocker when they're clear haha

[thowes24]

ick on the yellows. sorry, just my opinion. :)

[AbsorbantNut]

Not a fan of the yellows either, would rather see a light smoke, or nothing at all

haha not a cheap option!!!

next possible step....M62 swap...i went and checked it out last night and things look promising! i'm just trapped by time constraints.

[mkcman17]

oh, and a more flattering pic of the highs!

[mkcman17]

new rear rotors and pads compliments of complete-plus. the old pads were absolutely toast...half an hour of work for peace of mind!

The first pic looks exactly like my boys car before he got new wheels and dropped it. Same year too, and his kidneys are black too.

ick on the yellows and IMO you need a front valence!

Props on the car though! Nice find!

Don't forget the Limited Slip additive,or it will make noise when turing at low speed.

I was checking the bottle and it said for limited slips...i have been listening for noise, but so far buttery smooth. I think I'm alright?

A valence? Mine is minty...you mean a lip? I tried the volvo one but it looks like crap imo.

Now that my H&Rs are on I may ditch the yellows bc she doesn't look like a stocker anymore. Pics to come!

front strut/spring assembly


H&Rs in the front only


rear springs installed


how she sits installed...little too low in the rear imo..
