Ya Im going to do that this weekend when I'm playing with things. Say do you know where to get another center cap? The one that I re-glued didn't survive the freeway break in.
I don't see this as ugly or the ugliest car ever. Blank canvas: yes. Not a 3-series, VW or 240: ok. The first two generations of Taurus were bad, but I'd put this about where I would put a B3, B4 or B5.5 Passat or an E65. There are just even fewer of these modded.
My first JDM project after decades of European cars!
Welllllll... I spent the weekend building the front bags and getting them installed with shrader valves. I'll try to make a trip to Sherry's to use their WIFI to post up some pics. My cell phone just can't handle it.
All right now I'm here at Sherry's eating a bowl of soup in exchange for their wifi. So here are some pictures.
I had to convert the struts from nissan altima to ford taurus. It was actually quite a bit easier than I anticipated. Cut cut here weld weld there and now the measure out the same as the factory struts.
Aaand put it in the hole.
Here is the requested profile shot, in not quite as "dump truck" mode. I still have a bit of work left to do to get it lower.I now see why your average taurus owner doesn't do anything to these. I'll have to make new strut tops as the ones from the factory strut are too thick. I think I can pick up an extra 3/4 of an inch by just addressing that. I also need to notch the frame a wee bit to clear the lower control arm.
I know I know, You guys roll this low static, But I still have work to do it will be lower. BUT it is so much better than it was.
Once I handle the rest of the front work Ill get the backs done. They should be easier. Then management. I want the accuair set up but I'm afraid its a bit out of my price range. Then who knows maybe some rotiform 19s or 20s .
