Mine is 200-205 mm.

I loved driving with the dogleg box through winding roads, you can find the right gear. It does have a drawback though without an overdrive, revving to 3000 rpm at 110 kmh.
I also like that it is a little special/rare.

Bodywork is such a pain, but in the end it will be worth it. Rear quarter done. I will be removing all the clips as I have new ones. http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m499/billykouv/DSCN5186_zpsb670974e.jpg Got to use my new gravity feed spray gun today. 1 front guard finished in undercoat, other ...

Depending on your state laws Hydrocarbon refrigerant, ie HR12 can be used as a direct replacement for R12. Just a recharge service required.
It is legal in Australia and we have lawmakers that are anal.

Yep, hard to stop at one.

Keep taking those pics, that is nice looking example you have.
You are a very lucky man to have 6er at 17. My first car was a Ford Escort 1979 2ltr 4 speed, lots of fun in that car.

Congrats and good luck.

Swap the manual and all other upgrades into the 88 and enjoy..Keep the auto and whatever else you remove so you can put it back to original if you are concerned about resale at a later date.
BUT why would you sell, EVER!

Finished the rear wheel sill repair today. Happy with end result. This side was worse than the other side already repaired. http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m499/billykouv/DSCN4917_zps51d26bb4.jpg This is what I had to repair. http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m499/billykouv/DSCN5085_zps4646311...

Stance looks just right! NICE!

Thanks, practice makes perfect, or better in my case.

Update time. Have been working on the driver's side rear dogleg, all the pieces have been fabricated but not welded yet, pics to come when finished. While playing with that I noticed a couple of suspicious spots that looked like rust on the rear jacking pad. Scraped away some stonegaurd and sure eno...

Thanks Brucey, More research req then.

If u go with lowered springs u need to ideally use short travel shocks otherwise short sharp bumps can be nasty. Bilstien sport have rear adjustable height ribs so u can lower the rear. For the front u can possibly use an e90 spring perch which will lower it 10mm more or the other thing is to use s...

Welcome Will, It is amazing what a little elbow grease will do, looking real good. Good pick up mate.

Looks good and no rust.Bargain!
Glad those stickers are gone, looked like a Nazi staff car.
Show us the engine bay and inside pics.

Do I need to use gasket sealant on the intake gaskets? I suspect not, just thought I would ask for opinions. Found sealant when I removed the old ones and thought this was overkill.
I will be using sealant on the wet gaskets ie, sump, water pump.
