pull fenders, and space em

[NickL]

Well. Kinda ran into a problem. Front fitment is on point, basically like 1mm of clearance when aired out, BUT, the wheel rubs the strut. So I'm assuming it needs like a 3mm spacer to clear. Maybe a little more. So, after the spacer, I'm pretty sure the fenders won't go over the tires when airing out.

So I'm just gonna pull the fronts a little.

Hmm. Also camera battery has been dead so no pics. But the car is together. Ill snag some pics when I go home to work on it next week.

[CubbyChowder]

what are those wheels? Can't wait to see the finished product!

Welp, got tires mounted today. My camera died after taking pictures of the way the rears are mounted, so ill get pics of the font struts tomorrow. Front top hats were cut into triangles to fit in the tower. Ill toss up some pics of the rear setup. Also ran every airline and hooked up all my switches and gauges. Just gotta wire up the compressor tomorrow and she should be done. We'll see what happens!

Big build man! Like it a lot so far, sub'd for more!

[mitchlevy7]

your pics almost exactly sum up the last week of my life, except I worked through the night. ill post pics once i detail it.

what are you doing for the strut top mounts?
the ones in the airlift kit were waaay too big for the strut towers so i cut them into triangles and tried to center the middle the best i could, then cut more and more till they fit and drilled the holes.

i also had the same exact problem mounting the valves and the gauges. my valves are sitting a little forward from where yours are and the gauges are gonna go in front of the shifter and ill build a little box to give them room. if you cut out the carpet under the center console it will give you a little more room because theres a bunch of padding.

good job tho!!

strut construction pics?

[Das-Lowest]

this thing is a monster. i want bags now

[hfabricius]

Final pics of the finished strut? I'm kinda thinking about doing the universal struts since its way cheaper than that bagyard struts.
