Do to a little miss hap I have to redo the front end here are some pics. More to come maybe it's just me but I think I'm going backward instead of forward. smile.gif





Here are some pics of the lower rear suspension. You can see the rod that runs down and attachs to the trailing arm. If you look you can see the 1/4 steel plates we welded around them for strength.



Here's another pic but of the passenger side.



Here's a pic to show some of the bracing that had to be done to support the floor of the trunk. You can see that the bolts run through 1/4 steel plates as well. This was done b/c the bag setup actually tried to rip the floor of the trunk out.



This how the system works. The bags push out ward. Then the rods are forced downward by hand built A-arms. The rods push the trailing arms down which in turn lift the car up.

 

damn... glad you discovered it early enough to reconstruct.

 

Thanks man I need to cut those screws off flush or someone will reach under there and pull out a nub. wink1.gif Hopefully if everything works out it should be back on within a few weeks.

 

Looks like fun!! cant wait to see the finished product!

 

Here are some updated pics of the car its coming along not much more is needed. Just a little warm wheather and I can get some more of it painted.

Here's a pic of the engine bay painted.



Here's a pic of the driver's side of the car



Another pic of the driver's side.



Pic of the passenger's side



Here's a pic of my new headlights

 

You painted it yourself? That's ballsy. Props to you though. I just know that I'd never be able to do it

 

The headlights look fvckin awesome, i've got yellow / gold bulbs in mine but those look much better.

 

How or where did you get those lights? There are a lot of people that would like those. Did you take your engine out to paint the bay?

 

he sprayed kandy on the headlights... saw a lot of them @ NOPI (never on a tib though). the guy who painted my car wanted to do mine in blue
