pinkley's "gettin there slow RS" thread

[pinkley]

Last few days I've been doing work! Tucked some wires on the passenger side engine bay. Replaced radiator, timing belt and front crank seal. Still have a few little things to slap back together.
I'll post pics up when I get it all back together

New oem style radiator $60 eBay.

Top radiator supports powder coated to match the valve cover

Look close on the other engine bay pics to see the new chrome hardware on the supports.

engine bay looks good! simple but effective, one day when my car isnt dd i want to do that. top hats in rear are over rated, imo.

I might just see how it handles after I lower it in the rear some more. Definitely need them in the front. Shocks already slam the stock mounts.

I did work this morning son! Put my new top hats on and dropped the front all the way down, took the sleeves off the rear shows to level the car out. Took me about 2 hours total. Thank god for PB Blaster!
Dropped the rear about a half inch and the front a quarter inch. Sits pretty level now.

And a Cheater pic to look moar low! Lol
