Looks like a good base to start from. I wonder why somebody painted the engine compartment though. Also, I hate to break it to you, but your front end has been lowered to compensate for the sagging rear end. Get a factory service manual and adjust the front ride height correctly and you will find that your rear springs are sagging. Not a big deal. You can get new springs or have your originals re-arched or even add a leaf.

Haha reed I did that! I'm probably going to put 2 or 3in blocks in the rear :twisted: I figured when I put an 8in rear in it ill worry about the ride height. Low and slow!

Its had some front end damage, I'm not pleased about the paint in my engine bay! Its going to get painted as soon as its runin well. I have however driven it daily for two months now.
