**BUGMAN** · 09-13-2007, 09:26 PM

**BUGMAN** · 09-13-2007, 09:30 PM

Only had an hour or so tonight to piddle and Austin just had to swap out the headlights on my new street toy but we did manage to get the front's swapped.

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.

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** · 09-14-2007, 07:20 PM

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.

**KPowerEP3** · 09-14-2007, 07:46 PM

dude, I really want to meet you and see your shop, you never cease to amaze me with how quickly you can totally turn around one of these car.

**Evil Goat** · 09-14-2007, 09:50 PM

sooo....do you ever finish a ''project''? i see all these posts, yet no finished products.

**BUGMAN** · 09-14-2007, 10:20 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!

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.

**BUGMAN** · 09-14-2007, 10:26 PM

More finished products:

**BUGMAN** · 09-14-2007, 10:30 PM

A few more for now.

Satisfied?

**BUGMAN** · 09-14-2007, 10:48 PM

Here is a sample of our last finished track project for the wife.

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.

like how? r they bent or is it just the paint on them?

**BUGMAN** · 09-15-2007, 11:11 PM

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

Just not perfect from being stored and moved around.

**BUGMAN** · 09-16-2007, 08:32 AM

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.
