everything went as planned...
 

well so far everything has gone as planned.

My Boxter wheels arrived today by UPS at 4;30pm, as did my
Maxx Struts, Strut Tower Bar, Sway Bar & Urethane Bushings.

I was able to go get my tires installed right before the Tire Shop closed & while they were being mounted I picked up my brakes from the machine shop (they were being drilled for 5 x 130).

I just got home & ate dinner....not my work begins!

God, I love it when I plan comes together! :D

Just remember to be methodical and thorough. Keep your head and everything will go smooth as silk. Go too fast and you'll make mistakes.

Believe me... I know...

here is an update
 

very cool. i got to roll mine out of the garage and onto the trailer to take it to paint yesterday. the wheels looked damn good in the sunlight.

what size tires did you go with? i am running 205/40 and 245/40.

the rears are 215/40/17 and the fronts are 205/40/17

i cant wait to get them out in the sun tommorow if all goes well!

I have pics of the front & side now
 

I finished the front suspension today.... it took longer then expected, but everything went well. I was not able to lower the rear today, not enought time. Not sure when I will have time to do it. :(

So here is a couple of pics from tonite....

Now THAT's what I'm talking 'bout! Nice job. Wait until you drive it. That's when the MaXX's really shine. How low did you set the front? Looks lower than 2.5", or is it just me?

Beautiful job!

yea you're right about the settting..... I set it at 3"

I drove it last nite around the corner, everything seemed real tight. I didnt hear any rubbing either, which is a good thing..LOL

That car is lookin real 'Mean' !

Nice job Joe.

I added new pics this morning!
 

It looks very nice. Some day mine will move. I am glad the 17 inch rims fit.

Thanks everyone!
 

I really appreciate the positive feedback.

Although the car is being built for my personal satisfaction, positve reaffirmation goes a long way too.

The next projects on the chopping block are:

1. Body Color Europa Bumpers & Headlight rings
2. 4 Wheel Disc Brakes
3. 1.8 Liter Type 4 Motor

Looks awesome!! Nice choice of wheels. I have the same. I'm just waiting to choose a front strut. Are they 17X7's all around?

yes they are 17 x 7's
 

:)

Its really amazing what those wheels and a lowering job do for that car.

Time for some 'BIG REDS' peeping from behind those spokes Joe !!
