Picked this up around 2 months ago just to drive...but of course I can't leave anything alone.
Lowerd 1 click on the torsions in the rear, 4" narrowed adjustable front beam/2.5" drop spindles, freshend up engine. Bumpers removed t bars installed, 1 5/8" header/stinger, portawalls on original style tires. Interior was gutted new carpet/door/rear panels still need to recover the seats/change steering wheel.
Just something to toy around with on the cheap. Any comments/suggestions are welcome

Drop the rear one more click, ditch those T-bars, and go back with bumpers. find some kind of replacement for the god awefull elephant feet. all I gotta say.

| Tossed the bumpers back on and instantly yanked them off. They are the hideous square body color type. The tailights are flat replacements not the stock style elephants but close enough. Ive gone 2 and 3 clicks down and get a horrible shake at certain speeds, 1 click is the best I can do at the moment. |

When you go 2 clicks down. You have to extend your spring plates.

| I like the stance! If it were mine the only things I'd be looking at changing are the rear fenders, taillights, rear apron and bumpers to something a bit earlier. In the fatchicks thread there are a bunch of cars that can pull of the square bumpers just right. |
