Well small update, car got primered and hopefully is getting painted tomorrow or Thursday. I would post up pictures, but the Photobucket server is down. I will post them as soon as I can. I'm still waiting on a front bumper as well.... Also got a new brake caliper because one was locking up, and got LEDs for my dash lights. Hopefully I will get tires next week on the wheels. Still working on the wheel hub bore size for hubcentric rings. Also need to order new lug nuts and once the suspension and wheels are on, then I can order spacers and studs. Once I get everything good to go, I will order all new bushings for the control arms (front and rear, upper and lower), as well as steering rack and sway bar bushings. Keep checking back for updates!

Well here are pics!

So far so good!

Nothing special today, just more pics, and wheels finished. Bumper is shipping out tomorrow, so hopefully car is done by next week! It's getting painted tomorrow, but I still have to wait on the bumper cover.

And the new bumper!

And for the wheels!

Now they are waiting for tires..... Since I had to buy the bumper, I'm going to either get Achilles ATR Sport tires, or Federal SS-595's. I'm going to go with 235/40R18 for the front and 245/40R18 for the rear. I would've gone a little bigger, but once again, money is limiting me. Keep checking back!
