Addicted To Boost Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Nice. Swap a turbo 3.1 or L67 in there. Your car does look nice. I disagree- people NEED to stop wrecking and chopping up TGP's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeMetz63 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 As much as I like TGPs, that 97 cutty is a much better looking car in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomZoomFan Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Budweiser is the official beer of Nascar, 077s are the official wheels of W-bodies. JK man, your car looks freaking badass. I've always liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihateallmustangs Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Add dual outlet bumper and exhaust to that list. These things look horrible with single outlet bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97loudcut Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Car goes into the shop today to get the Eibach's and KYB's on in front. Shop quoted me @ $200 for it all. I think that is a fair price. Pictures ASAP.. probably tomorow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97loudcut Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Installed.. I am very happy! Not to much drop, it sits perfect. Deffintly feels alot better up front though. Yes, I will be doing the rears myself. Matt, you might want to look into all the work in doing your front springs yourself. Its quoted at like 2-3 labor hours. Your going to need a ball joint removal tool, pickle fork for the tie rods, and a spring compressor for the springs. So yes, $200 is fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
