Heres a few updated pics of the car. Finally got the axle shafts drilled for 1/2 studs and got those installed. Took off the door molding. I Lowered the front coil overs...a bit to much I think but it looks bad *** slammed. Also lowered the rear just took out the spring isolators and cut 1/2 a coil off the spring. Let me know what you think about the new stance.

LOL mine tuck pretty good. I had thought bought cuttin a coil off but kinda worried it would rub. Also your car looks good! All these threads about weight reduction has had me going crazy on mine just got the dash back in! Lots of weight can be taken out here and there! Everytime I think Im done a new thread pops up and gives me another reason to rip something else out!

Hopefully pretty soon. I just have to get the trans and everything to go with it. Im hoping to have it atleast moving under its own power in the next few months.
Thanks
So they tuck more then mine do? I was thinking about cutting a little bit more off the rear but idk. You think the front is to low or should i leave it?
I know how that is. I have thought i was done ripping stuff out numerous times..then someone posts up something else that can be taken or cut out...so i have to do that to lol. Once the weight reduction bug gets you its all over. lol It all started with taking out the front sway bar and AC lol

I can get like 2 fingers between there so its close. The front looks good on urs Id drive it and see how it does. Then when you get ready for racing try to set it up for the best weight transfer.

Well i started stripping the under hood harness. What a PITA. Does anyone know how to disconnect the under hood body harness from the bulk head connector on the drivers side thats under the dash??
I'm pretty sure it doesn't disconnect. I've done it a few times. There's about 6-8 plugs under the dash that you have to unplug. Prepare to be frustrated if all of the dash and driver seat are in there. A flat head screwdriver helps. The giant bulk head has a screw that holds it to the firewall though so you have to take it out or else it won't budge.

Also what is the aluminum box with the 2 connectors under the left side of the dash for? Is it ABS stuff?

Thanks! Im not going to cut it up or anything. I want it to look stock besides the missing back seats. Just bolt offs and when I can afford it Ill start with $$ Mods like a k-member and drag brakes
No deal on the trade........

I knew what box you were talking about before you posted the pictures. I remember asking someone and them telling me, but I don't remember. I'll search around for you. I'm pretty sure on the other one it has a bolt that holds it together. You have to get in there with a small ratchet and undo the bolt. It's been a while, but I think I'm correct.

Well the engine and underhood body harness is almost done. Just have to finish wrapping it up in some electrical tape...the old wire loom looks like complete crap. Then i get to move on to the interior harness...what fun.
