Hey an update, it's a miracle! lol

Removal of front suspension no issues, rear almost removed completely, surprisingly more of a pain in the ass than the front (thanks Dan and Friend :thumbs:). Car will be going through a transformation slowly but surely. Going with a spoilerless deck lid. Front nose will be swapped out for a smaller, more updated looking '95 nose I found at a salvage yard which Dan's buddy is supposedly prepping for me. :dunno:

What happens to a car (that was so clean you could eat off the polished valve cover, intake manifold..etc) when it sits for about 10 years, rather depressing.

These KYB's and Intrax springs have less than 50k on them, amazing how much surface rust they get from just sitting cause they weren't like this before the car sat.

Last time this car was inspected lol(and just because it was inspected doesn't mean it was being driven), it's been sitting for more than 4 years, that's for sure. This car hasn't seen the road since I bought a MB C280 Sport in '99. :eek:

This car will not be recognizable when I'm done with it.





And of the biggest surprise of all...

I've decided on smaller, more comfortable riding 16" Sparco Drift wheels in Black :uhoh:

I looked and looked and looked at dark grey wheels(which I also like), but the black wheels just look so sexy on a white car.
