Right rear quarter complete....getting there now. Next week will be just bolt-ons, bumpers, sides/rockers, exhaust...then paint time!!!!

 

Wow! That's going to look sweet!

If you guys do organize a Kingston meet next spring, maybe a couple of us from Montreal will attend, would love to see your car personally

Good luck!

 

Thanks! Ya, we'll definitely get one organized. If we have it in Kingston area, we can get the Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal people all involved. Would be ridiculous!! Looking forward to meeting everyone.

 

Craig, ur car is coming along nicely.. I'm feeling ur excitement already!! It's going to be the longest winter for u I bet. Lol

Stay tuned everyone, i will start a "mega meet thread" this spring to see who is interested to meet in Kingston. It will be nice to meet Mtl, TO, Kingston & Ottawa members altogether.

 

This excites me!!

ps. Craiger your car is going to be ridiculous!!!! Cant wait to see it all put together!

 

Hope u can join Vaclav!!

Craig, ask the Bodyshop to test fit ur Rennen wheels & snap pics for us to see. *drool*

 

Ready for paint! ...and by the looks of these pics, I better order some coilovers soon! Not sure why the gap looks so large, might just be the angle but I haven't seen it in person. Almost there

 

That does seem high.

If you do the coilovers are you going to get the OEM BS Coils or aftermarket? Almost there!

 

It does seems high, but at least you got the offset right as they look nicely flush!! You wheels are Rennen M10 right? I believe they are the same wheels as member Fung63 (Tim).

Order the coilovers now & ask them to swap it for you & adjust them in case you have rubbing.

 

Ya, Rennen M10s color matched Tenorite grey with custom MB billet caps. Ya, I think springs might not drop enough with the H&R .75" drop so coilovers might be necessary.

 

Coilovers are definitely a better choice if u want to go all out & adjust the height.

I'm happy with the height of my H&R springs, but I wouldn't risk it on ur project as u haven't seen the end result on other BS conversion with just the springs.

 

What size tires did you go with on the rear?
Just to give you an idea on the spacing. I have the KW set up and the rear springs are bottomed out in order to bring it down enough and I have 345-30-19's on the rear. I'm not sure if the opening is larger or just further up in the fender but we ended up with a huge gap on mine also. Just bring it down with adjustable suspension and you'll be good to go.

 

I have 305/25/20 in the rear...will KWs get me down low enough?

 

Again, good infos from Keith!! Springs won't be enough then, coilovers is a must. Ur tire size should be fine Craig, it's all about offset.

 

i cant wait to see the final product! best of luck too you man, shes already a beauty but after the conversion, im sure ill be drooling a little bit on my keyboard, LOL!

 

I must add Keith is running 19's , u are on 20's therefore u got a lower profile tire.

If they sit flush (correct offset), the gap won't be as bad with any coilovers set to the "lowest".

 

You should be fine with adjustable coilovers. .

I was able to bring it down but this was bottomed out.

We brought the car down about 1-1/4" in the rear and 1" in the front.

 

Almost there!!!! Sorry for the bad pics, my body shop are good with the work, not the best with the camera

 

Looking great!!! Getting excited now? Lol

Are you getting the BS hood?

 

Looking sharp Craig!! Ditto on the BS hood?

It's going to be a long winter for you I bet!! lol

 

Not getting the hood right now...maybe next year but we'll see. Very excited for sure...and ya, one long winter for sure

 

Spoke with the body shop today...picking it up this Thursday. Stay tuned for new pics of the final results later this week. Thursday can't come fast enough!!!

 

Come on Thursday!!!!!!

 

Awesome news for u Craig!! Did they install the coilovers already? I can't wait to see the pics all finished up. *drool*

 

Looking forward to the results
