We can't get the floor jack out even with it on two layers of 2x4s
Cant lift it anymore
Need 1200lb in springs

Today we clean it off.... we can't roll it into the driveway other ways we won't be able to get it back into the garage.
I'm pretty sure the ledge at the back of the garage is going to completely remove all the zip ties on her chassis tubes if we back it out.
With the leverage of the suspension the 600 lb and 550 lb Springs are definitely not enough.
Especially when you consider she's completely dry and not everything is there.
Was weird walking into the garage this morning and seeing the lowness

We keep going back and forth on whether we're going to paint it in the hurst "Hairy" olds livery

I have a rough idea that if it weren't for the dry sump pumps on the driver side of the 4t80e, I'd have plenty of room for 31 16 16 slicks
I really f****** love these weld xp's
Really bloody heavy though you can kind of understand why weld skipped the 3-piece construction and went straight to Billet preforms, after this short production run

Macpherson strut sucks, short arm long arm coilover suspension is the best.
The first two builds of this car resulted in the knowledge that factory sheet metal is entirely too flexible, in our way and in the wrong spot....1st gen W stuff remember.
The amount of unibody Flex, strut bending and suspension movement on the TR definitely make me think the tube chassis was the correct way to go.
I already have a couple ideas for the new subframe on the front and rear makes a few things with the suspension. Front I want to have cantilever upper arms and move the coil overs inboard
