    Sweet, It looks good. It reminds me of mine 92 when I got it. Glad to see that you got it run. Now just need to lower it and stiffen it up some.

    I FINALLY got it lowered, about 3" in the front and 4" in the back. my front bumper is all sorts of twisted and beat to hell, but the lip i put on it hides it ok. startin to look good
