my 85 gsl build
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 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.

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.
