Finally came up with some time to work on the car... This is what I did this week, I lowered the rear a little and put the engine back in. What do you guys think off the new stance?? In the last picture you can see the reason why all this took so long... my "new" house Before:  After: |

Rear looks good. Might drop the front just a hair.

much better, and yes, the front a little bit lower would work out great!

I'll try to lower the front later this week... still got lots to do before I can go for a drive again  Shubee, the buggy bumpers were off for towing it home from Bug-In and removing the engine. |

I just recently bought the house together with my girlfriend... We looked at alot off houses but none off them could please us both, or weren't within budget. When we saw this one we were both immediatelly conviced. Behind the house is a small workhouse were I can put aprox 10 cars    |

The first drive today after 8 months standing. The gearbox works in all 4 gears and reverse I'm Happy!! Got to see what the stance looks after being driven and I think I'll keep it like it is. Just gotta get a wash and it's ready for the first big show off the year in Ninove, Belgium. |

I try to get the rear tires at zero camber, match the fender gap at the front to the rear, and let the tire height set the rake. Looks like you've done exactly that, I like it  |
