Its a daily driver.
Pearl Lillac with pearl white highlights.
186 with floor 3 sp auto. HR front with Torana Discs and 14s. Adj rear air shocks.

The hub caps are off that F*#D thingo but I've always liked them.
I would have liked to have the roof done in pearl white & I would like to drop it 2 inch in the rear

DevilRod,
How low is your white one in the avatar?
I like that look. Mine is 2 inch lower on front and stock at rear. Should i have the springs reset or blocks.
On the pic size, what size and res should they be to make the website fast but still legible?

Marty, take a look at my old pics. My car had 4" out of the front and 2" out of the rear. It now runs 2" spindles in the front and 2" blocks in the back. I think it needs another inch out of the bum in my car though.

Dunno how low mine is it can't go any lower though its on the bump stops.... :oops:
2" blocks out back and the short leaf flipped to up on top of the leaf pack and reversed so it flattens the springs. Just a tad to harsh of a ride. But does look good.

I usually use 800x600. Also found that if you highlight a heap of images then right click and choose sent to, then email it resizes them for you. Then simply save onto your desktop and load into photobucket.

Dunno if this makes sense to anyone else, but it does to me :lol:
