they're sending me new lower mounts to replace them

BUT i did get all the wheels mounted and balanced for free, so I did some test fitting instead.

clearly without coils on unfortunately


Rear coils will be on tomorrow and the new lower mounts will be here possibly in a month because thats how freakin long everything else has taken. I'll be finding some more smaller things to get done in the mean time.

Its been a while since i did an update. not much happening at the moment though. I got the rear coils on finally though! but now the front coils don't fit and I have to wait another month before I get the proper lower mount back from taiwan.. I put the wheels on entirely because I was getting sick of staring at em all the time and they took up too much space in the garage.

I know i know, not low enough. it bothers me..

This is the other project I've been working on in the meantime. Its a guitar made of skateboards for Line Skis. since I don't have any more parts for the car Ive just been powering through this thing.

not sure when my next post will be. I 'm hoping to try to shave and tuck some of the bay this weekend so hopefully I can get some of that done. also the relocating of the battery

we'll see what happens! updates will be up eventually. sorry for sucking at posting!

The height drop was definitely a step forward. Much better than before. Looking good.

final et with adapters?

Wheels are 56 and I got 23mm adapters so about 33, then I have some 5mm spacers I throw on the front to pull em out just a tiny more, so FINAL is about 28mm
