[joshuaw3]

Im a little lost myself, why did you add another dimmer switch? Not knocking it just curious.

This is a picture of everything it comes with

Oh ok, Ive never even looked into reverse glow gauges but now I know!

Ordered a lot of goodies today! Pics to come when they arrive.

 

[joshuaw3]

All the goodies came today. Just waiting on the maximum motorsports engine mounts. Can’t wait to install all of this

Out with the old in with the new

Great progress - thanks for the pics.

Update. K member was difficult to get in and get the engine mounts to line up but with the help of a very large pry bar it all went in. Didn’t have much time to do a lot with it today at work but now I’m just putting it all back together. Pics to come when it’s finished.

very large pry bar?

very large pry bar?

Yeah it’s about 4 feet long. I’ll take a pic and share it when I get to work tomorrow. I think the engine had just shifted and I needed to get it back where i needed it for the engine mount to fit into the k member.

Sometimes a pry bar and cheater pipe!

Anybody know how much I should try to sell my factory k member and control arms for?

 

[ttocs]

what ever you can get for it? I have had mine on the side of the house for years now never had any interest in it.

Haha ok if that’s the case I’ll just make a trip to the scrap yard

Got everything installed and aligned properly. There’s so much more room for activities now with that tubular k member in there. I also got some new upper and lower control arms in the rear for Xmas. My parents got me the j&m stainless steel caliper to the hardline brake hose so I need to install that tomorrow. But after that I’ll be saving up for a while for some new wheels, tires and paint.

 

[Tillerman77]

Oooh! Shiny new parts!!

Looks great and keep up the good work.

 

[Burninriverdiver]

I'm jealous of all those new tubular parts, looks much easier to work on with the bulky stock k member out of the way.

 

[96blak54]

I like it!

 

[joshuaw3]

After a brief hiatus trying to save money I made a big purchase today found some bbs rx233 wheels for a steal. Still need to paint which will happen soon and do a few more things and then she will be ready for the spring/summer months

 

[white95]

One of my all time favorite wheels. Nicely done!

 

[AStangThang]

Nice new parts bro. I do like those wheels, and a quick question on your K-member, was the mounting hole alignment good, or did you have to widen the holes any? Also, did it square up with the body good? I'm thinking about ordering a new one, but I daily the car, and was eyeing the Maximum Motorsports K. I'm just trying to get some input. Thanks
