just been working on the suspension the last few days. Finally got it pretty close and removed the gold from the wheels.

you've been working on the suspension, but isn't the car going to sit differently once the motor is in?

I was thinking the same thing..but can't really tell from the pix but the original motor may already be there so it shud be fine once he swaps the motors out with each other...both color wheels looked great...can't go wrong with either one...some ITB's on that motor wud set it off...not sure if i saw it or not but is the engine bay another color?

Engine bay will be shaved and painted to match the car. I'm removing the brake booster along with a million other items. The original motor is still in the car and I have calculated the weight adjustments for what will be occurring with the swap, so everything is on track still.

^DONT chop the top. Would ruin the car.

But i like the raw look of the rims. You should leave them brush finish w/ a bit of clear to protect them.

yeah far too late in the game for a chop top, nor would I want to deal with cutting glass or running plexi.

Accidentally bought this yesterday so this might get updates with the bike too haha.
