Default First post after being away for more than a year= pics

Hows it going guys ive been away from the forums for more than a year and just finished a completley new suspension and brake setup. Overall the swap was a complete NIGHTMARE. I got a wrong set of spindles, wrong set of springs, calipers without brackets followed by 2 sets of incorrect brackets, a bad brake hose, a bad set of rear calipers, 2 sets of incorrect banjo bolts, and the best part 2 bad brake boosters. Most guys know what a pain it is to put in a bigger booster imagine having to do the job 3 times. Anyway onto the pics. Since the last time the car was together i have added:

93 Cobra brake booster
93 cobra master cylinder
MM 3-2 port conversion
wilwood adjustable prop. valve
03/04 dual piston front calipers
13'' front and 11/65'' rear drilled/slotted rotors
Rear disk conversion using NRC brackets and fox legnth axles
95 front spindles
MMR front coilovers with QA1 12-225 springs
Lakewood 70/30's
MM C/C plates
Rear sportline springs
Pro3i/J+M weight jacker control arms
17x9 FR500's on all 4 corners
245/45/17 summitomos on the front
275/40/17 mickey thompson ET streets rear










I also got a porter cable 7424 and used poorboys polishes and now the stock 1991 paint looks better than most new cars on the dealer lots
