Day 2.... im tired....

Installed 22mm Sway-A-Way torsion bars... (one bar required the evil "drill a hole and tap out (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) )
Listened to JP Stein about his coil over suggestion, and redid those....
installed headlight mechanisms and motors...... new h4 housings are too thin.... and rattle in their housings... need to correct.....


im tired...

SAW torsion bars
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1134356127.jpg)
compared to 18.8mm 911 bars

my fellow german car enthusiast friend matt (BMW_2002) and my bling'd out headlight surrounds!
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1134356221.jpg)
clearcoated so they will never need to be polished again....thanks matt (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
