        It's a drift car, just use zip ties to sew the seat back together 🙂

            i got excited today, because FedEx said my coils will be here. i rushed home after school to find nothing on my door step. since they didnt show up i started to get going on taking the front struts out.

            the other strut was worse than the first one i pulled out. the outside of the strut shell was coated in the grease or oil that was inside when it wasn't blown. now im just waiting on FedEx to bring me my darn coilovers.

                That makes me want to install one of those drop boxes for packages. Like the ones you use to put the block buster movies in.

                          so i thought i would jump start this thread again. since i put the coils in not much happened. i took it to dubs downtown and made it back in one piece. then my rear wheel fell off..... :rolleyes:

                          after that the car was pulling hard to the left. once i put it away for winter i took out the rear axle and bearing. i decided to cut the boot open because i was curious. and i found  this.

                          IMG10651zps9f887ae9.jpg

                          i also dipped my car.

                          i guess it turned out alright. not sure if i like the "flat black" look.
