Setting up 8 inch today got the spring mounts cut off . This is embarrassing after I started with the cut off wheel I remembered I had bought the plasma cutter sure made quicker work of this . Prepped up and getting ready to tack in 4 bar link mounts , now all I have to do is stop at the box store for wire since I am out .

New add just found this on Craigslist and a deal was struck . I pick it up in the morning . I always wanted a stock looking interior for the the 31 and the sh&t pile turned into a rose . Good buy well worth the 1 hour or so north of me . It has a little rodent work done but I think that will add to the patina what you think .

Nice score!!

Regs

Regs its a Lebarron Bonnie for $300 so perfect .

Great find Bob...!

Hey Rich now hope one comes up for 37 this way , highly doubtful though

It will, no doubt, I just noticed your from New Lenox, we used to live in Bensenville, about 100 miles north...small town life, I miss it...!

Know where it is . But a lot warmer out there in CA. right now .

We had a week of 28 degree mornings, in the valley here, I think I lost a couple of young lemon trees, right now its average is about 50 to 58....rough weather here..

Lookin' good Bobby!!! Used to have a posi unit for the 8", Howard got it from me couple years back though.... Should have one more, think it's temorarily on the MIA list...... Think that's kinda like forgetting you have a plasma cutter......

Ha the plasma was sitting right outside the entry door , have to walk around it .

Rich we had a week of around 4 degree mornings Highness out in the 20's when the sun was out .

Today also picked up some bigger rubber 265-70-R15 on vintique wheels good price , along with a set of used Carrera coil overs





These sure fill up some of that hole that was there compared to the 235's

Nice score ..... I dig the taller tires.

Thanks Regs I was looking for taller tires when I got the 235s . Figured they would get me started . Best deal here is the car will be on some shocks and sitting right (hopefully) what I am looking for .

Bobby,
As for as I'm concerned you can't put a tall enough tire under there. The more you fill that opening up the better. Just my 2 cents
