I havn't done much to the car in the past couple of years, I've been enjoying the car and beating the crap out of it, but as financial situation improves, I'll be stripping the car down bare and get it done right, here are the plans:
- stitch weld the chassis
- raise the shock mounts
- IRS conversion with tube subframe
- complete new coilovers with remote fluid body
- completely built 16V engine on EMS
- 19" custom LMs.
but here are the pix of the car as is.
Here are some pix of the current coilovers, you can see its a lot lower than previous one.
I had to drive the car on the Geminis as I sold my Futuras.
It was pretty freaking low, but I manage to get some good ones before I sold 'em.
After that, I had to play with my new 19"s, they were originally for a BMW E46, I originally bought them for the E39, but as I got new wheels for the E39, I decided to use these, I got the adaptors made and voila, this is how the car sits now:
