Haha just wait till I get some more money coming through and start a build thread!

If you're planning an IRS goon, I say good luck. Only ever seen one well done and it was by a professional fabrication shop. The rest I wouldn't trust throwing around a corner.

And I love the wheels even though they are legit. One of my facorite knock off wheel designs. but I still would love a real pair of Hayashis!

Alright guys... wheels are on. With new leaf springs, and lowered the front coils 4 more turns (need to get in there and go lower!) Also painted the front brake hub that sticks through the wheels as well as the brake drums on the rear. On to pics!

Not yet! She still needs to go lower; probably another 2 inches or so all around. So lots of door arch/tunnel work for the rear is in my future. Then exhaust (gonna make a lot of people mad with this one) I'm going with an Apexi N1 setup similar to this:

After that... the endless stage of paint and bodywork.

I will soon. I don't think I can go any lower than this without modifying the transmission tunnel at this point. I need to find the exact spots the diff hits at and raise the tunnel there. After that, 2" blocks and traction bars with adjustable shocks.

Had fun at Eagle Rock, despite not finding any parts for my ride. Nice meeting some of the forum tags I've become familiar with. Anyways, OBX 4-2-1 Header and Greddy RS muffler have been ordered, and a friend is giving me a resonator from a R32 GT-R Skyline... Fucking stoked! Just gotta get 2.5" piping run between all of it and she'll be faster and sound so much better. 

Also, some guy saw my car on the freeway in LA yesterday and posted it on Instagram. He was cool enough to email me the original photo.

So what rear adjsutable shocks fit the wagon?

 

RockAuto says the 68-69 Camaro rear shock is the same, as is the 53-62 Chevy Corvette, 62-68 Chevy Nova/Chevy II, 68-71 Mercury Cyclone, 67-82 Toyota Corona, and 78-87 Toyota Cressida.

 

Should be able to find an adjustable shock for one of those?
