New board, so here my build log for Po, my 86 Levin

then i painted the watanabes because 1 of them wasnt the same color as the others

after
Also a lil bit of body work/paint
during a drive with a couple of buddies
then found a set of longchamps 14x8 and 14x9 and swapped them

All cleaned up and ride adjusted!

Clean ride! I really wish the usdm ecu's were map based, it cleans up the bay a lot.
What radiator shroud is that? I've never seen one extend behind the headlights like that.

So quick update...
after intalling the longchamps i was getting some rubbing issues on the back, so while i was rolling the fenders, found out they've been worked already. just a thin layer of filler but as soon as i put that roller, it cracked. Took it to my friends shop and at first i was just going to fix the fenders and paint the bumpers. But as picky as I am, I said **** it! lets paint the whole car!! anyways pictures:
A nice dent that was under the side skirt
