when i first got it, fell in love with it because of the complete interior no pieces broken except a small rip on the driver side





did a complete t2 swap engine/trans/lsd/axles ect.




found out motor was blown and i was tired to deal with it so i dropped at jrx in jan but his shop was full so the engine came out and car came back home





got a rebuild w/ mild street port, added microtec but the turbo was blown and now waiting for a another turbo at the shop, should be done this week end

still have fog lights, t2 side skirts, rear bumpers add ons and front lip to add



and my daily drive for the past 3years and half

I love the wheels and the ride height. The car looks really good until you see the wheels sticking out of the tires. I wish you had the proper off set and tires on the wheels. With +40's you can fit 295's with out even pulling the rear fenders. 285's fit in the front with a nice roll.

This fad needs to die.

Nice, I'm sure it was pretty far off considering I just eyeballed it when I installed the manual rack.

For the record that hatch glass on your car, is from me. It is only like 4-5 years old. And the manual rack came out of my 87' with 87k miles.

Nick what else did you buy from me? Brake line?

The fronts have camber plates. The rears could possibly use camber adjusters, but the fronts already have the plates...idk what hes talking about
