The 1602, because racecar?

[jrcanes55]

All these guys talking about "the poor car" and "its a shame" have clearly never undertaken a proper restoration of a car that is beyond fucked. They probably just watch a lot of Overhaulin' and don't realize the time/effort to do it right and make it look good, and in this case its going to be door to door with cars that are equally beat to shit so there's no point in restoring it just to see it get smashed up.

Keep up the good work and I hope to see this thing on a track sooner than later! Have you been keeping track of the overall cost invested in the project?

Thanks for the support man. Yeah we have. The car was free so we'll still have about 350 to spend after the necessary repairs.

dump it lower...LOL

Just wait. Front's going lower and we're looking to modify the struts to run my old e36 M springs. Cut of course.

Small update before things get a little crazy. The shocks finally came in from tire rack. Jesus it took forever. The wait was worth it though. It's hard to beat $85 for two shocks. Anyway they had been at my house for about an hour before they went on.

Nice new shiny KYBs too bad they'll be blown again in like a month. Ohh well


This is the new vs old comparison. The old ones were both blown and leaking fluid. Not a surprise.


One installed


Both on


I have to say the wait was well worth it. Both came with every piece of hardware I needed. Even the double nuts for the tops. Great deal.

BTW car rides pretty smooth for how low it is. It's not bad on the road. If everything goes according to plan i'll have some video up tomorrow of it driving.
