[RaceRanger97]

Now that schools out I finally had time to put the new beam set-up on!

New Beams all painted up:

Torn apart:

new beams mocked up at full bump:

Painted the coilovers while they were off:

Tabs all welded up with c/o's installed:

Im looking for a set of air bumps to call the front end done for a while..ill probably test it out later this week.

oh ok, thats not bad. i see your wheels dont have much off set neither so you can get a bit wider lol. If you were gunna race that would be perfect for the old 7200 rules but they made it 85" track width now. I cant wait to get mine from dave!
