Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Bakerdd"s '99 GT: Project stance



Can we all laugh if a box of shims shows up at the door? :th_nanana:


J/k J/k glad its all working out for you, I was disappointed reading that it was all headed downhill. But no more. :)
 
Okay go ahead and laugh. I knew something didnt feel right...

They are the dampening adjuster knobs instead of the dampers. I said that I blew out my struts but didnt need the whole package. So they said so then you need the dampers? Yes. Confusion
 
I still haven't been able to find someone to rebuild them. I'm not sure thats even an option anymore. But a company called bagriders said they had replaced struts before but he had me call airlift to try and find a price for an estimate and thats what resulted in a nice little package of fresh dampening adjusters haha. But bagriders said they replace a strut for a scion tc recently and it was $175. So I'm thinking it should be around that range. I need 3 for sure so I might as well get 4 while I'm at it.
 


I understand man, I still need to fix things too. I just put in a new drivers side axle and I haven't even posted pictures of my busted out tail lights gifted to me by my friendly neighbors
 
Not really relevant to whats going on in the thread right now, but..

I keep coming back to your thread David, I just recently got a job at Americas Tire so I'll be able to get that coilover money in no time! I honestly love the fitment of your old 18x8.75 530's with the 225/50 tire, and I think I'm going to go in that direction just not the same wheel style. How good do you think 521's with Silver or Gun Metal would look? And I'm talking about the 18x8.5 size with +25 offset, I'm not down to go 10in wide right now hahaha. I also love the black w/chrome lip wheel color choice but it's done on almost every white car so I want to stray from it.

Love the car David, later this year I'll be joining the low life with you hahaha.

Thanks man! I think silver or gunmetal would look really good. I bought the black ones with the intent to paint them because they didnt have any of the polished/gold ones that I wanted. I'm definitely ready to paint mine too. The black just kind of gets lost when you look at it except when close up. The spokes all kind of blend together and you can see it in some of my pictures. So Im thinking of a bronze color and leaving the lip. But my second choice would definitely be one of those 2. And as far as specs, I think they'll fit really good with some coilovers :th_thumbsup-wink:

Awesome, thanks dude!
 
I started redoing my air setup today. I'm trying to hide everything under a false floor except for a portion of the tank that will stick up through the floor. Sorry for the vertical pictures haha

brainstorming ideas. The spare well is way smaller than I was expecting for this big car.



started the false frame. The floor will be raised the thickness of the wood plus whatever I cover it with. I'm thinking of getting some hardwood flooring.



Checking the fitment of my sub box. I added a metal brace across the two triangle pieces later on.



Hoping to end up with something like this. The space is super cramped and I still need to figure out how to mount the compressors better. Right here they just have 2 screws each and kind of swing around. I really hope that I have enough room left to plumb everything fairly easy.
