well, I welded the gussets for the sway bar mounts because I'm getting a 1 1/8" sway bar and I read somewhere that with a thicker sway bar, those tabs bend under load, so I figrued I'd overkill it just to say I did it lol
The other side, well, I did that just because it looked like it wanted to be welded lol
I'm picking up the powder for them tomorrow finally!

bought these today:
Eagle_15x10.jpg?t=1263937716
for $133.61 from the junkyard
probably just going to sell them to a friend since they really aren't the look that I'm going for with my car

Sorry to hear about your fender mishap :-/ Im really looking forward to seeing your build through. I really need to tear down my suspension and clean everything up, yours looks great. I have S13 hubs/spindles/brakes, I just need to pick up some S13 coils :-D
What wheels are you going with?

to be honest, I don't think I'd go with the S13 crap, moves the wheels out too far and you'll amost certainly have to run a staggared set of wheels (you may like, but I don't)
and I guess I could post these here as well lol
test fitting FTMFW.
first pics with no spacer:
the last two are probably closer to my final ride-height
and these are with a 1/4" spacer (I think I'll order my wheels with this offset, just to one up my friend now :P ):
wheel specs:
15x10 -44---205/60-15
I sold these already, because I want 14x10's, with a more baller offset lol
and the brand will be secret on this forum until I get them :P

lol no, I think I only went over 120 once, and that was on a straight stretch of highway in the middle of the day, nor am I ever driving at 3am :P
I am going to get braided lines and rebuild the calipers though, one's leaking as it is anyways so I kinda have to lol

This car is so ghetto fabulous. I love it! Stick on wheels weights...... on the lip. Makes me smile.
You need to keep those wheels and paint them with a clearcoat mixed with rainbow metallic.
