Threw the front fenders and wheels on just to snap some pictures of it. Once the motor is in, it will fit pretty good. Lowered the back a little bit more too.

if you bolt the rear bumper on super sturdy then it will just wear down with every pull until i is perfect. lol

car looks good. lots better after you lowered the rear.

edit: also super awesome wheels.

lol the rear bumper is just zip tied onto the over fenders, don't think that'll do. it's already worn down some from the PO lol. yeah, I think it looks better lowered more, can't wait to get the motor in it and play with the front fitment. and yeah, i'm happy with the wheels, I wish they were a little more aggressive in the rear so I didn't have to run a spacer, but that's life. Got a good deal on them used so i'm not complaining. still one of my favorite wheels made.

They weren't too nice on my wallet lol. Who knew two aluminum tubes cost so much :/.. apart from the tune, they were the last big ticket item I had to buy before the car is running.

I see you're in Albuquerque. hit up rotorracing on here. he can help can make a lot of good ****, and he has a ls swapped fd too.

painted more **** today... then decided it was too cold to paint so I cut up my dash for my other gauge pod.





still have to do some minor trimming here and there, but overall I really, really like it.

Machine shop finally got to my motor they ended up cutting my valves a little and told me I have to run thicker head gaskets than I have, so just waiting for the thicker gaskets to come in before I can assemble the motor.

Still waiting on the thicker head gaskets to come in... In the mean time, I've been passing time by playing with my 945 garage headlight buckets. I made a couple altercations to them. I like it, I think I'm going to roll with it. It's something a little different from what you usually see.
