Re: 87 SWB ..Pearl..

Those wheels look really good on there. Good choice. Coming along pretty good.

Re: 87 SWB ..Pearl..

Planned on body work all day, but it rained. I put the grill and most of the front trim on. Most of the parts are used. I polished the stainless, and reused the center piece with new vinyl. I had to buy new turn signals, the old ones were cracked pretty bad.

[IMG][/IMG]

Repaired the passenger side seat belt. Cleaned, polished, and painted the lower door panels and put all that back together. I have been looking for some door panels for a long time. I guess I am going to have to buy a set. I put the old ones back on after I cleaned them up. I will have to use them for a while.

Re: 87 SWB ..Pearl..

So I got the Eibach springs I ordered from Summitt today. I got them put in and it raised my front end about an inch more than I wanted. It's about 4 inches lower from stock. It drives great now, and I don't have to worry at all about it rubbing. I may do something in the near future about the inch but for now I am going to drive it.

Bad pic of the springs..

[IMG][/IMG]

Here it sits in the garage, too dark outside. I will get some pics this week of the stance.

Re: 87 SWB ..Pearl..

Not sure why I thought those were Eibach, I looked at a ton of them before I bought these...they are Bell Tech #4700

Re: 87 SWB ..Pearl..

Well, I have been looking for my Cannon camera for a couple of months now. Its in a pretty big case, and I tore up the house, garage and every vehicle I could have been in. My son moved the other day, and gave me my camera back...so now I can hopefully take some better photos...

The fun on the bed has begun...

30 or more hours of sanding, and the bed is in primer...a long way from paint but it's getting closer...

Thanks, I like to use what I have. I hate to buy new if I can make used look good with a little elbow grease.

I just scored a set of door panels from a guy in SC. He is shipping them on Monday. I will have to do a lot of cleaning and use some SEM on them, but I think the oe ones will look better than the plastic repops when done. I have been looking for about 6 months, my drivers side is broken and cracked...
