I used a 3" lowering spring from birchmount on the rear.

Where did you get those from? I can't seem to find them online.

I don't think they have a website, but here's some contact information for them.

I'm. Getting ready to do an engine swap for Shifted. And I need to check the plugs on my 90

I tinted the back three windows of my black tcp over the weekend.

Red TGP got a new compressor, orifice tube, evap core, condenser and accumulator early this spring.  Still utilizing R12 for refrigerant. 
Black TGP was brought out of storage early this spring.  Pretty much beat up on since then and seems to run good for weak 36lb tune,  A/C is still R12 and holding very well.   New larger 60mm throttle body and many other mods in process...  :icon_evil:   I see dead people no no thats 12's I see  I'm  sorry   :icon_twisted:

My 89 has been pulling DD duty for most of the summer I realized my Cat was clogged on the return trip from Tooky's house. Got the exhaust all cut up and new raptor mufflers and a thrust cherry bomb to replace the cat and I can't find replacement tips for my off brand welder at any of the local hardware stores. Nothing like getting roadblocked on projects I tell ya. :icon_frown:

Great topic, I'm in the process of replacing my battery box it has corroded away from battery acid. Found one in the Pick a part yard and will bolt it in instead of welding.

Got the drive train and cradle dropped out of the parts car and now shifter and I are thinking on resurrecting it instead of using it for parts,  due to the fact its in overall better shape than the one he was originally going to fix.

Yeah not to mention that on top of that I am nuts enough to still fix the other car too.  God this TGP disease sucks.  So looks like I got to go get the spare transmission and sometime down the road we can dissect the other, other parts car.  Since I know that one won't be coming back to life.

Well after 3 years or so I finally put the red mirrors I picked up at the junkyard on. I love the way they look on there, took me maybe an hour overall. I also had to fix a loose connection on my drivers side window motor.

Looking good...Car is shining  :icon_cool: Soon your going to have shine those rims. Now theirs a job I hope to never do again. Wrist was ready to fall off afterwards.

mine are so bad I would be better off just buying new ones...lol

Two coats of wax
Fixed transmission fluid leak from my rebuilt radiator
Installed "newer" rear brake light controller - Thanks enzo!
Getting ready to recondition headlights & center light bar.

And Bonus......Smoked the dog poop out of a supped up Honda!!

NOT BAD TO DO THE RIMS,, GET A DRIMAL DRILL AND compound or something to that nature and a couple beers relax and buff..unless yours still has the clear coat then you need airplane stripper and asteadyhand to keep away from the gold, i used the stripper first, then sandpaper to flatten out the grooves ,, and polished like it was chrome..

Thanks for the compliments. The problem with the rims not only lies in the lip, but one of my rims, that I had to pick u at a junkyard after hitting a pothole and destroying one of the stockers, is not in good shape. Most the inside of the gold is BLACK. I just want to get new rims all together. The funny thing is the car was filthy after sitting in the garage all winter... :)

Part of me wants to strip the whole rim, paint the inside black, and the lip red. I just have no idea how to do all that... :icon_question:


This is what I hit, now before you say WTF where you thinking, it was night, raining, a poorly lit road, and those cones weren't there yet. It actually split the rim open on the bend too... It was pretty bad.
