    I get the keys to this in August



    It's sorta been mine since like '87... My dad picked it up with a blown engine and put it in the back yard, where I played in it and my uncle took the fenders and hood off it. Then we moved and sat it sat in the woods, then we put it away in the car port. The other day I asked if I could have it for my 25th birthday in August, he said sure...

    If anyone knows some good build threads... So far I plan on getting it drivable and slamming it to the ground.

            Get it running get all the mirrors/lights little pieces you need, don't touch anything else slam it and drive it. Thats the best way to do these bad boys best thing I've heard is that you can slam these on stock suspension for a few dollars at a hardware store.

                  deff hit the samba

                  a few diys for lowering the front and rear, rear is very easy just involves setting the spring plate angles and notches, front...if you can weld youll save a ton of money by narrowing the beam and welding in some adjusters
