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

[86_LeViN]

Thanks man!


got the rear fenders taken care of and a couple of areas that i found had rust while fixing the fenders, now is ready for a lil bit of filler and paint!
