Default Update 1

Hey guys as most know I got i good order on black friday. Well next week starts phase 1. The aluminum valve covers and poly dogbones and motor mounts will be going in, Ill put up pics once I get my car back. I would love to do it myself but its winter n I got no garage, lol. Then after that the next pahse will be the new upgraded trans, axles, control arms, trailing arms, and poly engine and trans mounts. Slowly but surely coming together.

LOL another Monte man bitten by the Mod Bug... Prepare to be broke for a few years. Like you said slowly but surely your getting her done. Going to be a very nice suspension upgrade your undertaking. You toying with the idea of new lowering springs?
The aluminum valve covers will help your engine bay pop with an upgraded appearance... Just more things to polish on your days off.

Haha broke for a few years. She already has me broke.lol. And now lowering springs because the cutout is lower and if I lower it then I have to be really careful where and how I drive. So I am just gonna put some better struts in. And yea deff more to polish but its all good cause I show it in the summer at the local shows for fun. Plus better than my leaking valve covers now. lol. And yea these are good mods. I got a long list of things I'm going to do. This just has to happen first so trans can handle everything else and the power I'm planning on throwing at it.

Yea everything is getting put in to get it ready for intercooler and to b twin charged. Ik no one sells a twin charged kit since ZZP stopped so that part will have to be custom.
