I typically don't do build threads because I'm too lazy and disorganized lol. But I need a place to whore my car and slow progress.
It won't be much but bolt ons and goodies until I graduate and get a real job but I'm king of balling past my means ha. This is my daily after all. No radiused fenders, $4k aero, fitted benz grills, or Ish from pimp my ride red sueding my interior.. for now
99 Q45- white on tan
Up to around 150k miles now and loving every minute=].
the week I picked her up. A little hardbody action in this pic
I gotta say I enjoyed cruising a grandpa looking car and staying under the radar from cops. My cars tend to stand out lol
Then I went against my own golden rule and got wheels before suspension (was really waiting for the pbm vips to arrive in the states). 18x10, 18x12
pbms installed
front not getting low enough. I ended up having to remove, chop stuff, and reinstall so the dampers went down farther for more travel. That obviously only helped damper stroke, not the ride height, so I ended up chopping the springs.. ya I know real vip lol had to do it on my college budget
test fit the shelbies
meh
got her sitting alright
again, still pretty meh
I had a shop put in a simple fucking axle in while I was at work and got it back with my door looking like this:
So they said theyd pay to fix it. meanwhile I filed a small claims suit the same day just to cover my ass just in case. I stop by the next day and the entire shop was cleared out and the landlord told me he moved to miami.
Anyway I got 5% tint and I couldnt stand the size of the front lips on the shelby wheels, so I decided to sell them. Bought these puppies off CL for 300 bucks with new tires just to hold me over
Was bored and since the tires on the front of the shelbies were the same and I had spacers to fine tune, I ran the two faced look for about a week before I sold them hehe and then I was on the hunt for new wheels
That's the boring beginning. A few more updates to come later today
