still plamming on it, but i’mnot sure when I’ll be able to get my hands on a set. I had some finacial setbacks recently due to “bad” parts from the blue car I was parting.

Yeah I read the blue motor was shit" or something along those lines.

No worries, just keeping tabs on things. I’ve got lots of chassis molds to make this winter now at the moment so I’ll be keeping busy regardless.

at harbor freight so I was able to finally get on with the mounting of the rear flares. All that’s left to do in the back is rust bullet inside the QPs and then seam sealer.

Its getting there. I had a problem with one rivnut and am going to have to get it out of there and install a new one. Everything else looks pretty good though. I wish I didn’t get tied up with my subaru disasters so I could buy the rest of the parts needed for the turbo setup.

I’m not convinced these look perfect yet, but maybe I’ve been staring at them too long. Plus the toe is way the hell off due to the new trailing arms.

Unfortunately its impossible to get the front any lower right now. It would take some real serious work to get it down any farther.

I finally cut out and replaced that bad nutsert:

I also need someone to come and take all of my hammers away from me. I’ve done this too many times. Thanks in advance :Idiots

the deep fender looks cool though:
