You gotta go full Rez and use kiddie pool fender flares!! Paint them body color or go full custom and paint them with black bed liner.

Not too sure about those kiddie pool fender flares. I was thinking of something a little more suttle |

Fender flares are a go if i find a good looking set!
Been doing what I can with what I got.
Saved one rear brake slave cylinder, the other had to be replaced due to too much pitting. New shoes and adjusting stars where required.
anyone else hate installing the rubber for the rear lights?
mmmm i smell packing peanuts
brodies and stoppies here we go!

ONWARD!
Nothing like being stuck in traffic and having a 6 hour drive to pick up your trannny.
Full Reduction box rebuild, .82 4th, SuperDiff, 3.44 R&P, HD side cover, boots, and all other tid-bits you would expect to be new as well.
FWD to today
Glorious day for a subi swap.
Wiring getting ready
ready to stick her in there
Help of some good friends
like a glove
gonna work on that rear end stance

Throttle body first dude. Exhaust can wait. Hatch 1st thing, then throttle body.

It was found near a casino on Indian reservation property. I may be wrong, but I think that is the story.
