Nice. :thumb:

Swap a turbo 3.1 or L67 in there. Your car does look nice.

I disagree- people NEED to stop wrecking and chopping up TGP's. :motz2: :ugone2far:

Posted

As much as I like TGPs, that 97 cutty is a much better looking car in my book.

Yep. I'd butcher a rough TGP for the engine.

ive done it a few times

Budweiser is the official beer of Nascar, 077s are the official wheels of W-bodies. :lol:

 

JK man, your car looks freaking badass. I've always liked it.

Posted

Add dual outlet bumper and exhaust to that list. These things look horrible with single outlet bumper.

Posted

there isn't even a picture of the exhaust...but hey I think single exhaust looks just fine

Posted

hey now...those door sills are by Awebb @ Terry...he made the sills, but the decals were all my idea!...:lol:

 

anywayz...looks like she's coming along quite nicely...can't wait to see it lowered with the wheels on in the spring!

Posted

Car looks good, projects look good. Can't wait to see it all finished.

Posted

Car goes into the shop today to get the Eibach's and KYB's on in front.

 

Shop quoted me @ $200 for it all. I think that is a fair price.

 

Pictures ASAP.. probably tomorow.

200 for just the front? not too bad i guess, but are you doing the rear yourself, or what?

Posted

Installed.. I am very happy! Not to much drop, it sits perfect. Deffintly feels alot better up front though.

 

Yes, I will be doing the rears myself.

 

Matt, you might want to look into all the work in doing your front springs yourself. Its quoted at like 2-3 labor hours. Your going to need a ball joint removal tool, pickle fork for the tie rods, and a spring compressor for the springs. So yes, $200 is fair.

they should settle a little lower too....

i never once used any tools like that on my car

 

4" c clamp for the tierod

 

5' iron bar for the ball joints... and that way you dont tear the ball joint rubber.

 

and yes ive done that about 30 times or so in the past year (not the tierods so much ,... maybe like 7 or 8 times for those)
