once I get some stuff sold I'll be ordering the energy suspension bushing kit will have pics of before and after installation but it may be a little bit since I'll be having some sand blasting and painting done

great job
 

Did you have to deal with any rust issues? especially on the pinch welds?

where are you talking about specifically? most of my suspension parts are rusted besides what I've replaced but I'll be having all that sand blasted when the time and money is right

Why don't you sand blast them yourself?

I don't have a sand blaster or I would, I know I could invest in one but I don't see myself using it enough to justify purchasing one.

Money saved vs money spent...my dad had one from when he had a shop so i used that, but they run around $50 right? Maybe more maybe less. I think of it this way...if I only would need to spend $100 and have my equipment for life or pay someone $120 to do the work for me I would save the $20 and invest in the thing I needed. It's crazy that people charge around $50 to blast one rim.
That's just my opinion tho.

I've got friends that can do it so I already have a hook up lol

Ahha makes sense nvm then 😋

I still wouldn't mind to have one though be nice to use it whenever

subbing to see how this turns out in the end

I have another one for the passenger just not sure when I'll have it installed but for now no more ripped up driver seat

Looking good Jimmy! Let me know how that drivetrain mount kit works out. I suspect it'll stiffen things up some and give a little better direct power flow, right?

Interested in selling that old three spoke wheel?

hey, what wing is that? paint and the wing slightly make it look like a Porshe 944, very cool

I'll let you know I still haven't got around to installing them procrastination is kicking my ass now that it's gotten colder lol, I'm just gonna keep factory steering wheel might not install the grip royal till spring, hoping to have my car parked over winter for new quarter panels, doors, hood and paint maybe even a cage as well just gotta see how things go.

honestly I'm not sure what the wing is can't find anything on it, I got it off a friend and it came off a parts car. Only thing I know about it is it's old.

I love this rolling shot of my car on the way to import alliance

The rear tire/rim looks out of place haha. Maybe you need a wider front rim...

Either way pretty nice man

17x7 front
17x9 rear

I would love to get another set of 17x9's for the front but at the moment I'm not too worried about it, thanks man I appreciate that

haven't got to do anything to her lately really, got the grip royal steering wheel installed which I'll have pics soon and picking up a set of celica supra wheels for the winter

and here is a pic of the grip royal wheel installed

picked me up a set of rear over fenders recently just waiting on a descent enough day to install them

Great progress, keep it up!

Wide body, eh? Let's see 'er once you get those "From beyond the heavens" wheels and fenders on!

You still got the interior stripped and just the one race seat?

thanks man I'll try to lol

yea the wide body rear quarters is my best option from all the dents and so on and yes I don't need 2 racing seats I never have a passenger plus my passenger seat is mint, yea it's just the door panels, rear seats and rear plastics took out not completely stripped and wouldn't take me maybe an hour to put everything back in just not to worried about it, plus it's cold and I do all my work in the drive way so it can wait lol

nice build
