The car looks good smoked out. I'd do silver, or a machined finish on the wheels to give it some contrast though. Good luck on the 5 speed swap. You'll love it.

Is it my eyes or does the exhaust seem to stick out more than usual?

regardless, I like the drop and the stance

I've watched too many of my cars go up on a flat bed and it had me worried every single time... I usually have to show the tow driver the proper connection points for their chains, (if another heads for my suspension bars I'm gonna go to jail... )

Good luck with your tranny swap, hope you get it back on the road quickly.

how you take the tranny out with your wheels and axles still on si beyond my knowledge....lol


So the shop looked at my car and the tranny is fine, somehow an axle had gotten loose from the tranny so that was the problem so the 5 speed swap will have to wait a few months!!!

You may have my car mixed up with one that drives the wrong wheels.

Lucky man. When mine went it felt like it was the linkage that just snapped, but it was definitely my trans.
