New stance for the old girl, and soon new wheels
Thought I'd give a comparison to how my car sits now versus the stock worn out springs, she ain't eating her front tires anymore.
So, first the old:
Now the new:
I've rebuilt the upper and lower control arms, replaced all the steering linkage, springs all around, front shocks, rear ones next weekend, aaaand scored some nice 90's Caprice alloys:
Tires are 235/75R15's, but they're junk, gonna get some 235/60R15 Mastercraft Avenger GT's for it soon as I get an alignment and the $400 for the new tires unless I can get a better price.

Hah, yeah well, if anything it's just gonna wind up with a new crate 350 so I can keep flogging it. 'cause what's better than a mechanically almost brand new 1977 Oldsmobile Delta 88 4 door that still looks like a car with every bit of 230,000 miles on it?
