Nothing special to show but figured I would share. These are taken at my NH house.








^A lovely picture from the view of my driveway. This is what the realistate people call partial lake view. You can almost see some blue in there



Trim rings came a few days ago. I didn't have a chance to grab a picture of them untill tonight, though. A HUGE improvement, long over due.

Thanks, it means a lot from you.
By the way, that's flip-flop paint.

those are some disgusting wheels but atleast its different!

you really should think about doing an AIR ride suspension if you are going to keep those...

[Owned]

That was the original plan but I ran out of room. I'm going to use Weitecs instead.
Out of all the comments I've ever had with the spinners, disgusting was never one. You have to understand we're coming from two totally different POVs of modification, though. The majority of my previous cars, current cars, future cars, and customer and friend cars are all of a low rider style. Performance is an issue, but not the main focus like it is with the majority of people on VS.

props on the custom fab work.

that is some nice fiberglass work. wheels are not my cup of tea, but as long as they are yours, thats whats important.

NICE RIDE!!

Jeez...What kind of rims are those on the 850? More suitable for a 1970's Cadillac Coupe DeVille.

sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet!!! *thumbs up*
I'm guessing you thought about putting the air compressor and tank under the hood cause theres obviously no more room in the trunk? Maybe take out the rear bench, install buckets, and fab up something for the middle?

[Owned]

I'm not too sure there's enough room for the tank under the hood. I thought about putting two compressors somewhere outside of the cabin and using the space under the pass side dash as a possible location for the tank, though. It would probably be too tight of a squeeze.
Taking out the rear bench has been a passing thought, too. However, it would probably be something that's only thought of.
If I decide to not put 8's between the two front seats, there may be room in the new center console for the air setup, though. At that point, I would be stuck with only enough space for two interior 8's instead of the four which is currently planned.
The 850 just doesn't have as much room to spare as any other personal vehicle I've ever done. That's part of the apeal, but the cause of the headaches at the same time.

i'd like to see a vid of that car rolling... then stopping

never seen spinners on an 850, i love it!

[Owned]

Spinning at a stop is good.
Backing out and then driving forward doing the moon walk is best.

Maybe my camera can do small videos? I'll have to find the instruction book I guess.

[Mesoam]

what happened to the AIR ride idea? just room issues? i really think that would be sick on that car

like you said, what about 2 smaller tanks...

[Owned]

Yes, it's mostly a space problem. Especially with the compressors as I absolutely do not want them inside the car. If I had to mount my res tanks inside it wouldn't be a problem, assuming I found a place suitable for them.
Before today, I had pretty much given up on bags/rods for this car. Thank you guys for bringing the ideas back, I think.

I'm surprised no one has given me the standard rims, tint, and lower comment for my S60.
