Notice how the front rides "a little high" after I put new springs and shocks on it Wednesday. Wink

I got Torino springs for it rather than ordering springs from Australia (evidently not exactly the same) and after they were on I suspected that they could perhaps be a little tall.  LOL

I removed the wheels and shocks and cut off 1 coil on the springs with a cut-off wheel and a 13 gallon compressor (7 seconds at a time, LOL) and then got it back together and it looks much better.

First pic, too high

Second pic is after cutting, looks good.

In the first pic the car is not on the jack stand. I knew I was going to have to put it back on them so I left it there.


I went to the bank today, got out of the car and saw a 14 yr old kid on a bike just staring at it. He only had one word to say......"Badass!!!" . I said "what?" And he said "That's badass!!" .

Yesterday while chasing down an airfilter a guy and his son were looking it over while I was in the store. When I came out and put the filter on he asked if he could take a pic of the engine (not much to see really). He asked a few questions and complimented me on the car. I get stopped and asked something by someone most anywhere I go.


Before changing the springs the originals were completely dead, no travel at all. Now its a wonderful thing.

You know you have a cool car when 14 year old kids who know jack about cars call yours badass.  I call it that too.  Cheesy

Looks much better with a lower stance. I should post some pics of the '95s new mean look.......I love the way there's like a 12" gap in the fenderwell.


Huh Post pics so we can see what you mean. I detect unsatisfied sarcasm. Bummer.
