greg a · 10-02-08, 04:59 AM

heres my 92. i took the 20"s off to get ready for paint. finished of the metal spoiler, shaving the antenna, hood squirters, fixing some rust and found some new pieces at the junk yard. the car is coming together. next ill be shaving the door handles off in a week or so for paint at the end of the month.

going to paint it that dk. sand/brownish color stock.color of the front doors. hey do you think i should leave the rims chrome or powder coat em black? any ideas elsewhere for the car would be great.....

Fuck I'm loving that drop. Can't wait to see it painted. I think gunmetal would look nice on the rims.

Shave the fuel door while you're at it.

greg a · 10-02-08, 05:12 AM

cant i got tooo much shit in the trunk....weve thought about it though, thanx now you got me scratchin my head to find a place to put it!!!!

92drls · 10-02-08, 05:40 AM

Damn that drop! Id say after the shave N' paint is done, post a new picture and we'll photoshop something up for the rims..

LegendLand · 10-02-08, 08:15 AM

Hmm. not terrible. Not feelin' the drop but that's just me. What color are you painting it?

trs031 · 10-02-08, 09:34 AM

Nice job bro, Im just curious but how many inches is it dropped?? I think once the paint and the 20's come back on the drop will look real tight, How is it with hills, driveways and speed bumps?? A lot of scrapage?It looks good though can't wait to see it all done. Im not a fan of chrome personally but unless it's painted the right way it usually isn't worth painting the rims, But if your nasty at painting? or going to have pros do it; Yeahh Give em a nice black powder coat, chrome is flash black is class...

I understand the hydros....but what I don't get is the uneven drop...can't you even it out some?

STR8H00D201 · 10-02-08, 10:15 AM

i like the lip added on the trunk. it should look good once its painted. not feelin the drop at all tho...

Run the gas tank filler neck behind the rear driver's side tail light and hinge it like Mike did.

+1 that wing looks sick but that drop is too much. Some old member was on bags and cracked both rear 18" rims from the rediculus camber, and then he complained about it.

greg a · 10-02-08, 01:12 PM

its not a drop! its on hydraulics...i can adjust the ride height at any time. and the front doesnt lay as hard as the rear! and for the rims if they break from too much camber we will all laugh about it then go get another set! i work at a custom shop so getting wheels aint a problem.
