Approve of your build in progress !! :up: But....I could not stop laughing at the ass explosion hole in the drivers seat bottom from the first page.

KYB Camaro shocks. They were $12 each new so, if they blow, no big deal I'll go with Koni IX shocks. I already had them.

Haha yeah, that seat was bad, it was a foam explosion every time I sat in it.

Odd question: Can you tell me what homepage you used to look up the vin number, that is shown in your first post?

Okay, so I finished up the other side, removed the rear collar, and low and behold it's now low.

Looks good!

Looks good!

Can't wait to get the fronts in. I have to get new ball joints pressed in, as well as new bushings.

Well, I won't be going with those Enkei wheels. They hit the coil real well up front. They are a +38 offset, so I could get some spacers I guess, but meh.

I've had some et28 Alulines sitting around for a few years I picked up on CL. They were going to be ran on my brothers golf, but that project has stalled and probably won't ever be completed.

All four wheels need blasted and some tires, but I think after being blasted and polished up they will look real nice. They are 15x7 and I have center caps, covers, and caps for the covers. There is actually three ways you can run the caps.

Some photos on the car, it's up in the air, and dark. I'll get better photos tomorrow as well as seeing about getting them blasted.





I'd love to know what you guise think about the wheels. I am kinda temped to sell them and get something else that's a weave and bigger, but also enjoy how unique they are.

Welp. I got her low.


and also smashed my oil pan on day one

Low


So I had about 900 lbs of people in my car and and my breaks aren't the best. a few cars stopped short because some ass wipe only went half way into the median.

I slammed on my brakes and and we slow motioned towards the dodge caravan. Right before we were going to hit the van I swerved left up onto a divider, narrowly missing the caravan. We all jumped out and pushed the car off the divider and into a parking lot. I don't think the van even noticed.

Woah, that sucks! On the first day out even!
Good thing nothing happened to you though.

I'm glad I didn't smash the front end of the car.

[ManSalad]

Luckily it was only your pan! I demolished my pan on the first day after I smogged my car :(

Why aren't the breaks the best didn't you redo them? Glad you didn't hit the van that would have been sad.
