there's something about your car that i instinctively don't usually fancy, yet somehow i can't help but think your car is hot. i really like the photo in post 16.

looking good man

I pressed in the new Ball Joints and for safe measure i put two little spot welds on the bottom of the joint.

Did you drill the axles and hubs your self or have a machine shop do it? If you did could you explain, did you just measure and drill? Build a template?

Nice car and work. I am really digging the XXR 527s.

I assume you either have machining skills, or a good shop, but I too am curious about how you did the axles and rotors. When I went 5 lug years ago, I couldn't find a shop that would touch drilling my GSLSE axles to 5x114.3, but I solved that with a pair of Moser axles.

How about some more pictures of the interior and some engine bay shots? Out of curiosity, is the car built for any particular purpose or just enjoyment?

I have acces to a machine shop at work so on my brakes i hung the axles off of a conventional mill found center and drilled the holes 2.25 from center. As for the hubs i had a friend at work stick them on a CNC mill and drill the holes for me

I like the ideas you are going with on your build. Especially the your new bolt pattern idea. Keep up the good work!

I don't think I have ever seen this color on a car before. You have done a great job with it. I like the build.

What product did you use to coat the interior of the car? I have some rust that I want to fix and then coat but not sure what to use.

lilmazdarx7

for the Lower Arms i made some spacers out of alluminum to keep it centered. still havent drilled the hole tho.

Nice. I am jealous of u guys with the equipment or friend hook ups.

The color is off of the new chevy camaro,its called cyber grey metalic. Thank you

heres a snapshot of my interior. It was originaly brown but i decided to turn it all black
im still missing a few details but i think it came out alright.

I finally got a chance to do some more work on the car.

I installed the lower control arms and did the alignment. I set the arms to -1.5 camber. I probably could go up to -3 degrees. I did the alignment in my garage.

so i decided to get some new tires for the rear. Size 245/60/15 now the car should stick good on the 1/8th.

Im in love with the color, looks so clean!

lilmazdarx7

How'd the finished product of the rear lower link come out? I'm interested in a similar solution, possibly using off the shelf parts meant for another car. I do like this way better though.

Car looks great too. I love that color.

lilmazdarx7

The rear lower links worked out great. Iwas able to get my pinion angle back to where it need to be. no more vibrations at freeway speed.
