Default updated pics, modding my Z <--

just a few pics of how it stands today,

engine = ready
nitrous 90% done
front suspension is in, the drop surprised me, its way lower than 1.2"
rear suspension = next
paintjob = done, just needs a good polish and wash

here are few pics, please feel free to tell me what you think.

best regards from iceland,
thule..

notice.. the car is only slammed on the front end, cant wait to finish the rear


still needs some final adjustments on the front bumper and hood, the rim is damaged, bougth them like that to fix them and paint black







purge





and one good pic, taken when i was on my way to install the suspension, sfc's tubular control arms and more,


all opinions gladly accepted!
