504/2000 Restoration project and 2 other VR4. Why do I love these cars!!

[bobdole]

Thanks for the kind words guys. Took out for a drive yesterday after the alignment. She drives really great. Feels good to be behind the wheel after all the work. She gets into boost really nice. I do need to update the stereo as it sounds like all speakers are blown. I did have a few small leaks, but they where easy fixes. I have a couple other plans for the car and painting a few parts next year. I should have the wheels in Jan.

Awesome work! You have inspired me to do some work under my car also! What did you use for paint on the rear subframe & trailing arms?

 

[bobdole]

Trailing arms where new from the dealer. The rear subframe I used regular black rustoleum paint.

 

[PTLourenco]

Any reason why you powder coated the front subframe verus painting? I was thinking of powder coating my rear suspension, but not sure if the bushing would have to be removed.

Good to see it finished /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Its certainly a satisfying feeling driving it again after all the work.

Ultralike!

It was easier to powdercoat it then paint I guess. Bushings would have to be removed.

Just have to say those wheels are beautiful. You do great work. Can't wait to see the wheels mounted on the car

 

[bobdole]

Specs on the wheels?

 

[fuel]

nice!

now adjust those coilovers like they were designed to do and get that bad boy sitting closer to the ground!

 

[Terrance362]

The balance is just right. It is not too much and it is not over kill. Very nice and simple with a twist. The e39a at its best!
