So i decided to make a build thread of my gt. so fair ive completly redone the shock and spring set up

F.y.i KYB AGX= sucks a fat one The adjustments on the front broke not even two weeks after install.

Upcoming is IRS from a 2001 cobra, after full tilt boogie bushings and frpp braces.
But first i have to get my clutch replaced and im finally swapping in my built 2v.
Any ways on to the random progress pics.

im hoping for 300 tuned till i decide if i want a twinscrew or turbo later on, right now since the 2v has sat for a year and a half and like a ruhturd i didnt tape any thing up im using my tax return to have a shop pull it apart and look through clean it up a bit then i will drop it in.
as for the irs yea im putting it all together myself done all the work so far why stop now!!!!
but the gt is fighting me tooth and nail last friday it developed two flats front only due to the inside of the tire wearing thin due to being lowered to much without cc and bumpsteer to fix alignment , and cracked the entire left side of the radiator so all in all i had to spend 587.32 just to fix that.
so next is cc plates and bumpsteer from griggs yea exspensive but i dont like the idea of drilling a hole in a already weak tower, and new shocks struts and springs for the irs with the ftbr kit, then stifflers subframe kit and kmember kit from mm.

i make pretty damn good money now so mods will be moving quickly i hope, plus my v6 will be up and running by the end of feb so i can retire the gt and do some real work to it
