Finally done with school and to back to the car

Tried to get as much of the surface cleaned up

The subframe bolt was rust welded to the bushing. Ended up grinding it off took me forever.

Had to grind all of these off too. Tried everything to get them off.....


Grade 8 bolts and some paint

Clean trailing arms!

All the new bushings in and fitting it back onto the car

Drilled out too large of a hole for the new shock so I rewelded and drilled it out. Going to have to keep on eye on it, but seems to be working


Finally got the rear BBK on and some new fittings

looks small in the big wheels

 

Nice Work so far!!!

 

Great build! Keep up the good work. In for progress.

 

Subscribed! First car was a 76' 2002. Can't wait to see more.

 

Finally spent some time really test fitting. Sad to say I'm on the hunt for new wheels. They are touching the shock and rear trailing arm.

 

wow man! cant wait to see it finished!

 

Love those rims, smaller tire won't help?

 

no its the offsets its creating a ton of issues. I just can't find any decent alternatives under 1500$

 

If anyone has recommendations or wheels they think would look good on her feel free to drop your input! I'm on the hunt right now really want it rolling soon.

 

This is how the rear would be sitting. I was going to get smaller lips, but now that the inner side of the wheel is hitting the shock and frame I would rather just sell and get something new.

 

those wheels look huge! lol see what you mean

 

This is one of my favorite setups. Turbo flares might set off the wheels you have now.

 

yeah thats my inspiration thus far. I just don't like turbo flares trying to keep it metal and pull it.

I just need some 16x8.5 et 15 or 16x9.

 

15's slammed or 16s would work much better.

 

too bad I can't get my hand on them. I think I might just re barrel the rears and wrap them in 35's it should suffice.
