Oh hey!

Pulling my m60 tomorrow, possibly have some progress pics tomorrow night.

[Byron]

Boom

[Zic]

Ohhh snap, this is gonna be good.

(tho, still waiting for the damn, RS mount! RS first, then engine )

[Byron]

rs's will be a close second after the swap, don't you worry . I'm probably going to shorten the struts the rest of the way down while I'm doing the swap too, so I hopefully won't have any more reverse rake.

The guy that pulled my transmission slacked off and never pulled my clutch and flywheel. The junkyard crushed the car now so I'm on the lookout for a new setup, in case anyone reading this has any leads, lol.

[Byron]

Got a few small things done on the engine today. Going to power wash it tomorrow and start changing some gaskets.


Took a bunch of pictures too because it was wicked nice out and I was in the mood.

crooked bumper and rock chips lol


amazing offsets


smoothed valence and missing deletes


needs a drop


I <3 camber


dirty m60 with its new home in the background



Found a lead on a Dinan m5 flywheel and clutch setup. It's expensive but I think I'm going to bite the bullet and go for it. I'd like to have the car driving for dustoff in 2 weeks.

[Byron]

Got the engine all powerwashed today. Not the coolest update lol but I've been too busy with school and work to get much done.

[Gator]

Why don't you people love byron!?!?!?!?!?!

[Byron]

I <3 you


M30 is out of the car. Started on the wire tuck and bracket removal in the engine bay but ran out of time before I had to be out of the shop. Gonna work on it a bit more tomorrow after dustoff and hopefully get some pics up.

[CSBolger]

This thing is gonna be gnarly. I can't wait to see it done.

[Byron]

I can't either lol. Getting real tired of driving this PT around.

[pporcaro]

byron's the man

[Byron]

No, you are that man!

[loneStar22]

i wonder why my car doesnt look as low as yours on ground controls springs with the perches out. i dont get it

[Byron]

Front or back? Whats your setup again?

I'm also running 2" undersized tires so I get an inch of drop from that alone.

running just the ground control springs in the front. and regular ground controls in the rear. i took the perches out to because it wasnt going low at all. i still have stock strut housings but even your stock strut housing pics look lower. your right it must be the tires...
