Fellow taco and same color car and two door. Welcome sir.

[DasTaco]

so clean. ugh.

Thanks!

this is rad

Thanks!

is it just me or your front valance is a bit saggy?

Yes, the valance tilts to the front. Somewhere in its life someone must have hit a parking block at a decent rate.

Quick update. Went home this passed weekend to pick up my car from the shop who put on some new shoes and got a wash in as well. Also got a Condor weighted shift knob. Unfortunately I'm going to have to put it away the first week of December.

I was getting a vibration while on the highway at around 70-75. It got notably worse when turning so I started to look around under the car and found that the exhaust was hitting the sub frame.

So the sub frame was dropped and here is what was found


Here is where it was hitting




then the sub frame was cut and I had a friend weld in a plate that gave the exhaust some room. Finished it up with an under coating and threw it back together.







Here's how it looks on the car



Found some stretched bolts installed previously :tsk:



So I replaced them as well.


And finally had to put it away for the winter. Hopefully I'll be doing some more mods to it while its away but I am super busy at work at the moment and don't know how much I'll get done this winter.

Smart idea with the subframe.
We should start club taco.

Are you leaking? Damn this looks like a clean build so far. Jealous of the wheels and swap. How do you like that knob?

Thanks! Fortunately that pool is from the car that sat there before mine. I really like the knob. It is significantly higher then say a ZHP weighted knob so the throw is pretty long, but once I get my SSK in I think it is going to be perfect.
