new toy
« on: December 23, 2007, 05:23:23 PM »
 Got a real good deal on a clean 93 4door today. It has 74,000 miles and i bought it off the original owner, a 90 year old lady. needless to say it has been well cared for. Sorry for the night pic but there will be more to come. Now i'll have to search for the best / cheap way to get some 30" buckshots on there. If anyone wants to chime in with their wheel bs, body lift or coil spacer sizes and pics feel free. If not i know how to use the search function of course

I wish it was but it's an auto. I am interested to see what it will get at55- 60mph on a nicer day. I'm gussing it could go into the thirtys if driven carefully

That looks really good. I'll have to talk to jeff about picking up the spacer kit from him. Did you run the 1.5's all the way around or the 1.5/2" combo? Are those stock rims?

  The van i have been driving gets 14mpg, when i saw that it only took me three gallons to go 90 miles I was pretty giddy about it.
