I have a set of front comp springs your welcome to. I think they are Eibach and they are dark but bright blue. I will look and see if I have any rears laying around anywhere.

I had a complete 94 with tan interior about a month ago that was totaled and all of the interior went to the scrap yard. If I get another I will let ya know.




Thanks for the compliments everyone.

I really like it so far but we have a long ways to go on this one.

I knew this before but every time it still shocks me to see the difference.

I am picking up Black Bullitts tonight and gonna see what they look like on it but I think the Gray are gonna win that contest.

They are used but in good shape and free if ya want them. I will try to dig them up and take a few shots for ya.

They were given to me last year and I will never use them.

wait lowering springs?
BUGMAN

Oh yeah they are definitely aftermarket and almost positive they are lowering springs.

On the rear we usually cut a ring off at a time until they are where we want them and only use "true" lowering springs for the front since they are such a pain to put on and off.

sooo....do you ever finish a ''project''? i see all these posts, yet no finished products.
BUGMAN
09-14-2007, 11:20 PM
Finished products: 1st picture is the Blue coupe that we just started on the first of this week. Check out lil Austin taking it for a test drive around 3pm today. The hood barely shuts and we will get a cowl in the near future but it is finished for now and runs great! :goodjob:

The projects that I posted were just for fun. The silver coupe with the black hood is Austins and will definitely be a long term project since he wants to take his time on it.

My silver coupe that I posted him putting a K member in last week is also running very well and I will gladly get some shots up of it tomorrow. Needs a coat of paint but it is not too shabby for now.

Thanks for asking, I almost forgot why I do all this shit. :thinking:

I am in Monroe but only 12 minutes from the Athens Square Mall. I am pretty sure they have never been on a car but been stored and moved around for a year or more so they are not perfect.

BUGMAN

I don't think they have ever been in a car so they can't be bent. :screwy:

Just not perfect from being stored and moved around.

How far are you from Summit? I sure as hell don't have time to drive to Newnan but we do visit Summit frequently when we need parts quick.

What kind of wheels do you have? I may be able to get one of my trucks in that area in the next week or so but I will have to check our routes before I know for sure.
