US Spec White Ragtop

This is looking great so far.

USDM style cabrio's are one of my guilty pleasures!

Great effort going into this... Looks really nice. Keep it up.

I now have the coilovers, so I'm very close to getting the Cabrio slammed as I just need a pair of front top poly mounts and bearings from Rhyl!!! So I will be ordering the Flo-Flex bushes in a weeks time and also some brand new genuine lower arm bolts for the N/S as years and years of splashing in puddles has sezied the front one solid!!!

These are my new coilovers from a company called TA-Technix in east Berlin with a 80mm total drop, I have set these at present to 60mm drop at the front and 45mm drop at the rear. So I have a 15mm tilt to the front and once the bodywork is finished and the arches rolled it may go 80mm at the rear and 80mm plus 15mm drop caps at the front so a total of 95mm at the front, possibly!!! LOL



Also my front wings have arrived and are safely stored at work and some more red dye, so I can finish the rear seats soon too

When do you reckon it'll be sprayed white?

[dubstar9]

Suspension to sort this month and then next month I have the front wings to weld up and smooth, bumpers to finish and smooth (rear to plastic weld the extra exhaust moulding) and then the bootlid to be fabricated. So I think I'm looking December at the latest (fingers crossed) leaving dashboard, front seats and front door cards to finish interior. Then all brake upgrades and wheels next spring, leaving power train during next year along with any other finishing touches.

Well that's the plan anyway

Impressive results.

Need to get the black carpet in and the front will calm it down with the black dash and more black trim, just the arm rest part of the door trims in red and the rest of the leather in black too.

You'll notice from the shadow created by the passenger front seat there's a bit of flash on the go which maybe making the red more in your face, the outside pics of the seat base is the true colour
