Re: new project!
rims and a bit lower makes a great difference, looks good.... now all you have to do is fix the crash damage on the drivers side

Re: new project!
can someone point me in the direction of a good HIGH RESOLUTION picture of the 82-84 taillights? mine are in OK shape, as in, no cracks or anything, but could use a polish and i want to know what the painted trim looked like so i can duplicate the factory best i can since mine has faded badly...

These aren't super hi res, but that's what I've got. From what I can tell, the ribs should be black and the word pontiac should be black too. Everything else is red.

Re: new project!
ok, we got a TON done this weekend:

-i fixed a leaky power steering pump
-installed a factory single electric fan
-rebuilt a 650 road demon and replaced the 1406 edleBROKE
-chopped 1 coil off the front springs and 1 1/2 coils off the back, gave it a MUCH more aggressive stance
-did away with the goofy big tail pipes
-installed proper speedo gears to correct going from a 3.08 gear to a 3.45 gear

here's some pics:
before we lowered it


big goofy tail pipes


a good shot of some goodies, 3.45 posi disc 9 bolt, lca relocation brackets, lakewood lca's and adjustable panhard bar


after lowered




no more big goofy tails!


booboo


650 road demon

Re: new project!
ya im in no big hurry, they are attached to my crosslaced rims which r in the garage because i have a bent front and cant run on them until i get a new one. I just swapped them for a nice chrome set that came on the GTA rims when i bought the car. just PM me when you want them
