new guy to lowriders

hey everybody im a new here thats used to 4x4's and muscle cars worked on susepension before but it was always going the other way

well i got this thing as a daily driver because i was tired of paying for gas in my lifted f150 that got 10mpg and 8mpg in my mustang. it was an abandoned repo that i picked up for $300 from a wrecker yard. its got the 2.3 and 5spd. all it needed was a new clutch and a new back window. body is a little battered and bruised but what can you expect for $300... i was thinking of lowering it but i have no money so i welded up some flip brackets in weld shop and flipped the rear end today. im doing this really not on a budget at all...more like an i cant spend any money at all budget so im planning on cutting my coils up front to bring it down to match the rear and then spend this weekends beer money on the camber eccentrics . this is where i am at so far. tell me what yall think.

hey thanks. yeah im real proud of myself i did all that with not spending a dime and completely changed the look of the truck

as far as the abandoned repo part the interior was completely DESTROYED seats were trashed no carpet headliner is ripped and hanging down stereo ripped out so i snagged a pair of nice seats and center console from an explorer that was out in the wrecker yard about to get sent off to get crushed cause it was totaled from behind and the AC compressor off of it as well. i had to completely rewire the radio not just speaker wire but all power and grounds and antenna, the steering colomn was broken in to and i had to jerry rig a push button start but its all good
