It would seem its time to make a build thread for my daily driver; so here it goes.
FOR WHAT ITS WORTH this build ends on page 5 and my new jaguar build begins on page 6 and is well under way.
It's an '88 Jaguar XJ6, red over tan leather, which looks the business if you ask me
On day 1, looking a lot like an $800 dollar car should.
No exhaust, hit in the front, filthy-- better buy it right away! After I bought it, the chick disclosed that if I didn't buy it, it's next stop was Mercer Wrecking, right up the street from my shop-- this thing got lucky.
I already had my plans, which at the time I thought were totally rowdy-
A 16x8.5 squared set of salad shooters, which I paid too much money for because I used to be fucking dumb.
They lasted for a while, and made the car look neat even at stock height-- but fuck that noise
I had to get them machined to fit, because the Jaguar center bore is enormous (73.9!)
So I did some researching as far as lowering is concerned, and couldn't figure out dick- this car was meant to be kept stock height for life, which is stupid.
So me and my friend Anthony got ignorant with an angle grinder and did some stuff on the front end one day, chopping 3.5 coils on each side of the front suspension, leaving me with the most radical rake stance you've ever seen. It looked pretty rowdy with the shooters 'n shit, so I took it to shady brook (represent :P )
