Got the bumper back from paint. Quick test fit

Great progress on the C43! Don't have much of anything relevant yet to add to the conversation, just been admiring your work on the car.

PJmak

Thank you

Its progressing a bit faster lately and cant wait for it to be on the road. If I can inspire someone in the mean time thats just as fun to see

Long time follower, first time responder Those wheel as stance are great! Love the progress. But why the heck can't I figure out the bike? Thought it was a Kona Honzo initially. Please clue me in!

And I'd be remiss if I didn't congratulate you on the great work and thank you for showing us that we don't need to own a complete auto shop to restore a car if we have the commitment and patience. You've inspired many of us!

Amber lights makes the front pop and that shining freshly painted bumper is gleaming like glass
Keep the progress and the pics coming great job

PJmak

Thanks for the kind words .

Glad to see another mtn biker in here . Its a commencal meta ht and i love it. Just got the fork rebuilt by fox. Plan on taking it out this weekend

SDR

Ah yeah. Should have picked that up. Nice fork too!
I am a hard tail fanatic - nine bikes in the garage and seven are hard tails.
Enjoy the ride this weekend and save enough time for more car progress

PJmak

Damn thats crazy

I just built this one a few nonths back from frame up. Ive ridden some full suspension stuff but a hardtail is so much more fun. I dont think Id ever buy a full sus after riding this thing. Itll take on anything

Please tell me you're going to put the headlight wipers back on.

PJmak

Looking for replacements as mine are no in the greatest shape. Let me know if you have any leads

I love all the work and care you have put into that car. Beautiful result!

PJmak

Car still rubs q bit but its driveabke. I need to drive it a bit so I can smog it and its still missing a few thing like roof molding. Need to put it all back.

Got a thumbs up from a e30 driver first time on the road

PJmak

Took out driver side headlight to figure out the figlight issue. Looked like a loose connection back there. Got the fogs working but mixed up twonwires so the driver side isnt working now. Gotta take out the headlight again. Plug wont come out otherwise.

PJmak

Driving it around to get it rdy for smog.

siideways

Looks good, but why is the stance so raked? Did you cut the front springs?

PJmak

Car is currently on cut springs yes. I got those from my friend for the sake of testing the fitment of the wheels. The plan is to go coilover route

Are these the same part for C36 and C43? I have a set of motors/wipers I took from a 1996 C36.

Car is looking great! I drove a black C36 for 6 years with minimal waves/thumbs up. Ive driven my IR C36 ~500 miles over the last 5 months and get waves, thumbs up, compliments everywhere. The red catches everyones attention.

PJmak

Those should be the same. Donyou have an extra set you wanna get rid of?

Btw my black car was the attention ***** for sure lol.

The_mabman_20

Ive got everything packed up right now, but I’ll dig them out after the move. Looks like you have the motors, do you just need the hard wiper piece?

PJmak

Pdr in progress. I would like to avoid using any bondo when the time comes for a repaint.

Sulaco

Maybe you've answered this before, but what's the suspension setup you're using to get it so low? I want to lower mine a tiny bit one day, but probably not that low.
