Wow...what a great looking car! Love that color. Wish I could find one in the condition this thing was in from day one!

I'm so jealous of your paint! Mine came aqua too but not so nice...

Thanks guys!

Little while since an update. Picked up some speakers. Had a bestbuy gift card left over from who knows, so I put it to good use.

This is a worthwhile upgrade from the stockers in the dash IMO.

What is your chrome ring around your window roller? I like it!

Does the window crank clear? If not, I say it's time for some power windows!

Tell me about it. I measured the diameter of the speaker seat and made a paper trace to draw on to the inside of the door card. Mine also had perforations in a semi circle where the speakers go.

I give Mike(sasquatch) credit for this. Window crank ring and chrome door handles from a B2200 or 323 if remember correctly.

After some quality time with a heat gun they do!

Looks good, keeping it nice and clean ..

You guys are missing the point of stiff springs: if you have a chestyladyfriend in the passenger seat its quite a spectal. That's why i roll with 500lbs springs

This car just keeps getting better and better, Scott. I never noticed your little suspension upgrade in this thread before! I love that we're sharing mod ideas too... should be a blast the next time we meet up! Now you just have to get on those top secret engine plans I keep hearing about from Mike.

Oww. My girlfriend already finds 175/150 to be incredibly bouncy and slightly jarring haha.
