Title: A couple pics
Post by: TucanSam on February 18, 2007, 07:38:02 PM
Pics with my new rear suspension.  Once I do the front I will decide what size tires to run, and/or go with taller rear springs.  Now that the back is nice and tight the front feels even worse.  Cant really tell, but I painted a spare set of foglight covers and slapped them on.  These look ok from 5 feet away, perfect for dailys, Ive got a nicer set for shows...................someday.

Nice car, and nice work. Have you been in an accident with that car? The rear quarter has been repainted.

I didnt use the S197 shocks, couldnt get them in time.

This car is 21 years old, Ive had it for 2 months, who knows about its past...

Just out or curriosity is it even possible to paint only one panel on a metalic painted car and have it match? I've never seen a car with metalic paint have body work done and the panel match. Usually to get it to match they have to paint the whole car.
