Nah, 15's bro.

Got parts in today.



I was hoping to get this stuff done this weekend but I was unable to find a shop to press my CAB's in. I probably shouldn't have waited until 4:30 on a Friday to find a place. So... next weekend :(

If the lip is just bent a wheel place can fix that no problem.

Not yet. I'm sure they could be fixed too but there are a few more factors here. I don't want to half ass it and just get the one fixed, I'd rather have them all spiffied up at the same time. Given the fact that 1 needs a major repair, 1 needs major curb repair and 1 needs minor curb repair, and all 4 need a good polish... And at the same time I can't decide if it's worth it to fix these lips when I'm planning on relipping in the next year or two any ways.

for polish just put wheels on a balancer, spin wheel while holding polishing compound, done. lol.

If I had a balancer. lol. It's not that I can't do any of this stuff, I'm just choosing not to for the time being as I have more important things to spend money on than $1k in lips, how ever much a refinish would be and $500+ on new tires. School starts up again in a month...

Time to fully repair this turd.

However... this bolt is being a bitch (or maybe I'm the bitch...)



I broke two universal joints trying to get the nut without removing the exhaust or motor mount but that thing is quite seized (whodathunk)



Took my struts apart to clean them and replace some things. The insert sits on this massive spacer. I could section these housing another 2+ inches if I so desired. Interesting.

[mbonanni]

How much are your housings sectioned now?
