Well i finially decided to lower the rear of my car after i got these monster tires for the rear. They were brand new still had the nipples on them and i got the pair for $30 i couldn't pass up the deal. So i chopped off a couple of coils in the rear to level it out some and jason stopped by so we snapped a few pics.

Wait till the '85 is put together... You'll have a real fresh rig.

Looks like fun...

Jason, you need to find a turbo-style eggcrate 740 grill for your car... would really complete the effect. I normally don't like Virgo wheels on 700 series cars, but they look great on yours.

I see some nice old school Veedubs in the background there too... :D

And what is that behind Alex's car in the garage??

Threre is a vw kit car thats supposed to look like a old Mercedes, and there is a bug in there too. Another pic has his sisters '63 bus. We are both air-cooled vw families, thats how I know Alex and his family.

I had thought about an eggcrate grill and wasn't sure if it would be worth putting on or not, since I already blacked out the stock one. If I could find one cheap enough, I think I would swap it in and see if I like the look.

The wheels were a pretty big improvement from the stockers with the pizza pan looking hub caps! Thanks!

These cars really only look good with a tonnn of down and out.
Or tuck and poke if you will, and wheels with a good amount of dish.

I was thinking of putting 90+ tail lights on my 760 like Alex's 740. When looking at the swap I would have to make some modifications on the plugs and on the body of the car. Instead I bought some nice stock tails from the junkyard instead.

If he wants I have some very nice 90+ tailights that are not faded.

The right side tail light is brand new never installed on a car the left is used but very clean

Thats the car that we scraped... The '85 has nice tail lights though. I wasn't really a fan of the newer style, but it may have been because his were so spanked looking!
