Dont have a picture of what it looked like when I first got her.
But this is after i cleaner her up, fixed some scratches bought a repainted the front left fender.
Put on a spoiler and got my decals, hubcaps, most of my system made a custom box, none of the 1/0 gauge wire that is all throughout her
Did not move at this point-

Replacing the clutch, all the brake lines, brakes, front shocks, tires, muffler, made a custom front engine mount, all around engine tune up

Stock 7A-FE

Painted a little, Got a CAI and a Cat-back

Painted alot, with a new 7A-FE

Painted a little bit inside

Painted alot

Got rims and painted the calipers and drums

Got a 250 amp alternator Kinetik batteries all 1/0 guage wiring

Body kit arrived!

Found alot of side rust (all along the side, and under)

Ah, very lucky on having access to tools and lift like that. I would kill for that, would save me so much time having to put the damn thing on stands every time I want to do something.

Yea the suspension dropped her alot, more then I thought it would. Technically I have no idea how low I am, I know I can go more, but am pretty comfortable with it right now. I have the sleeve set at 1.5, but it appears much lower, when placing fingers to tire to fender, its 3 fingers width front and back. I've only slammed the ground once..was stupid. Smoking a cig, opening my red bull, and going oh crap I need to go, poped the clutch and slammed the ground, forgetting about the huge dip coming out the gas station.

The last post, being an before and after on my progression thread, gives ya a idea. Camera sucks, but works nontheless

My 1.5" drop on Sportline springs gives me a comfortable two fingers in front and a tight two in the back fender. Just saying for reference.
