Nice brotha. What kind of rear is that? Where did you get it? I am looking to beef up my 200r4 and my 7.5 in rear.

Looks great! Keep up the good work! Nice looking car

Clean car. It will make for a nice driver. I notice you went with a very mild motor so performance must not be your main goal. What was in it originally and was it bad?

85montess, www.taperformance.com sells the support girdle for your 7.5/7.625 rear.

Thanks for the comments guys. The rear is the stock 7.5 housing with moser axles, an auburn posi, and richmond 3:42 gears. The shocks are oem and the springs are a 1.5 inch lowering spring from beltech. The car came with a 3.8L V6 which couldn't get out of its own way. I would like a bigger motor but im in college and the funds are a little hard to come by right now.

Very nice job. I noticed the frame is painted. Did you replace the body bushings? If so, where did you get the bushings? I'm looking to replace mine with OEM-style rubber but cant seem to find them. Thanks.

WOW that is a nice clean ride :!:

Have you replaced everything on that car or is it just that well taken care of :?:
