    Progress has been slow. She is runing at 12 volts now, got a complete tune up and lowered the rear 4 inches and the front 3 inches. Sorry about the oil in the driveway Bob...THANKS ! ! !

    Looks real good dude! What a clean car. The lowering job looks real good. I would go a tad more up front though. The skirts will make that thing right on. I am going the same route on my 4 door Merc. Very mild custom. Good luck with it!!

    Nice lookn car. I would leave it stock and just add all the accessories you can find. My buddy did that with his more door and it has to be one of the coolest shoboxes ever.

    No chopping or cutting on this one, I have skirts but have decided not to use them. Thanks for the compliment.
