Dave, jack it up and stick a piece of 2x4 in between the lower control arm and the frame. that way your not riding on the strut.

Really loving the custom work. Just a curioisty question, when you welded the front struts to the hubs, are the struts welded ontop or they pushed into the hub and then welded secure ensuring correct angle/alignment?

Unfortunately I dont have a good picture. The way I am running it is similar to the OEM insert. I had a sleeve welded onto the spindle, then the strut/bag assembly drops into that.

Today after work I'll be attempting to make the car drivable. Im making a spacer to drop in the strut housing that I made. Hopefully that will raise the front enough where it is high enough to make a 3 mile drive home from where it sits. I'll be riding on struts, no springs, no bags up front. this should be fun. Then I have to take a time out from it and figure out it anything else went wrong lol

Another reason cars are better than girlfriends: Girlfriends don't really understand when you tell them the above statement.

hahaha true, me and the e30 are codependent. it needs me as much as I need it

I have a bike I'd be willing to donate to the cause. I won it in a raffle that no one else entered lol

This build is garbage. You're garbage.



Loving it. Can't wait to see the final results!

It sucks that I have to leave it alone for a little while. I just dont have the time to get back in it for the next couple weeks. Plus, I need to get my shit together and buy a daily driver. walking 3 miles to work is too much for this fat old bald guy

I came into work and it was like "Im sorry....forgive me?". Then we hugged, had a good cry together. Now everything is all better
