first type 19
« on: 16 February 2013, 19:38 »
hi peeps.
I have posted a hello in the new members section, but I want to get cracking with my new car and could really do with some help and suggestions.
This is a pic of my car after I collected it today.



I am looking at

changing the wheels (not sure what for at the moment)
getting rid of the monster truck suspension
taking off the factory go faster stripe (mixed feelings about that)
single light grille
clear headlights
shiny rear exhaust box.

and thats about it.
Its really quite standard and unmessed with so I dont want to spoil it.

Any advice on lowered springs, adjustable coilovers, any pics of your wheels to give me an idea of what looks like what would be helpful.

I only want to change a bolt on, bolt off part such as the grille.
I wanted opinions on the stripe as I like it, but the wife doesn't!

Isn't the stripe a sign of good original body work?

thats a good point, one I had not thought about

how easy is it to fit adjustable coilovers?
Is if difficult getting the ride height and level sorted too?

Nice mate. As said drop it and put some nice rims on it and keep it clean.
