for the haters, you know you love it. lol
for those keeping up with this, i had to rebuild the front end as it was all smashed up. rewelded in a new radiator core support, restraightened some of the frame rails realigned the front end and got majority of the front end on. first time welding, it sure as hell doesnt look good, but it does it purpose. air suspension just about complete, wheel fitment in check, and still need to install the 5mm spacers for the front. 18*10 -6et fronts now.


enjoy

I think I know how I'm gonna route my lines and think I may have an easy way to tie down the lines under the car. Wont be sure until I get started.

But I didnt get ride of the ES. I still have her. I was parting her out but hasent been going well so I'll probably leave it as is. But I picked up an Infinity M45 Sport to go VIP with
