Getting Closer!
Ok so a big day today finally got the suspension and wheels on!
As a forewarning the side trim is in primer right now, the bumpers are sanded but nothing else so i grabbed them and put them on quick so i could drive it and test ride height with the suspension, they are going back to be painted after today.
Last night stayed up late to get the fenders rolled and the front fender liners cut out in preparation for today.
Un-boxing of the Coils!
Jacked up and ready for the fronts
Side by side of stock vs. BC Extreme Lows in the front
Installing Fronts
Stock Front Strut
BC's Front
There is a slight difference
Now setting the fronts back down
Now the Rears
First a side by side coil comparison, we actually had to raise these up quite a ways just to get them to line up with the mounts.
Stock Rear
BC Rear
All Done for the initial setting, now time to pull it out of the garage for some before/after!
Side View
Rear View
Front View
Also a couple close ups of the front and rear wheels
Also got my Grip Royal Walnut Jack steering wheel mounted up.
2 Quick Interior Shots
One last shot tucked back away in its own garage
Well thats it for this installment. Going to be ordering in spacers and dialing in the camber and fitment.
Need to replace and axle in the front.
Then get my trim, bumpers, & lip back from paint and get that all mounted back up and she should be sitting pretty good for now.
Stay Tuned!

This thing is amazing. Ever since seeing the Hawaiian interior, i have been constantly checking any little post on this thread! Can't wait to see it all together!

I wasn't to sure about the Hawaiian fabric when you did the headliner, but when I saw it with the seats I was all like, "Yeah, ok, this is gonna be good!". Subbed to see what you do with the rest of it.

Another Progress Update!
OK so here we go again on the progress of my SF.
New speakers and deck to replace the ebay stuff that the previous owner had in here with some Kenwood goodies. Just some basic 4" in the rear and 6.5" in the front and a Bluetooth deck. Also found out why the old speakers partially sounded like crap due to some bad wiring.
Also got the rest of my interior trim put in minus the center console as I am still waiting for the OEM Upgraded Woodgrain Trim kit to arrive.
Up next got my seats all bolted back in place! Sorry for the lighting in the garage will definitely get some better shots of everything once i pull it out. Love the way everything has turned out so far!
Then after getting the door trim back on I decided to start on the trunk awhile. First with making the template out of cardboard from the trunk floor.
Then I picked up some laminate flooring from Ollie's in the Brazilian Cherry finish and got to work!
After I got the rough cut of everything it was time to pull apart the oem flooring. I separated the layer of plastic and carpet from the Styrofoam base. I would use this as the foundation under the wood.
Then Got it all placed into the trunk and started laying everything in.
Here is the rough set of the final product. All thats left to do is put some rubber molding around the edges to keep it snug.
Also a little maintenance work needed to be done, found my driver side wheel cylinder was leaking so replaced that.
Meanwhile Parts are starting to come in
Got my Grip Royal Walnut Jack Steering wheel and horn delete (along with free goodies lol) as well as an NRG hub and spacer.
Next to come in were the wheels!
Rotiform TMB in the DDT Finish 18x9.5 +25 and I also bought the red center caps which really set of the color of the setup!
Tonight my coils came in as well. If your lookiing for some great service check out AutoCity Imports, got my order in exactly how i wanted with custom options and had the coils here just over 2 weeks!
BC BR Coilovers: Extreme Low, Custom Spring Rates 14k all Around, Camber Plates all around.
That's pretty much it for now. I have my tires ordered and have been shipped, should be here Wednesday, and hopefully the trim comes in so i can finish up the interior as well. I will be getting the suspension done once i get my tires mounted up on the wheels and such.
Look for another update In a few weeks!
