Bilstein part# for those?

cosbySweater · 03-30-2021, 09:17 PM

Whatever 7/9 series have in them. I just used 940 struts. The top you have to space out where it bolts to the perch but that gives you the option to bump it up another 10mm or so if you run the spacer on the top or bottom of the upper perch

Tfest · 03-30-2021, 09:41 PM

Perf, thanks man

Tfest · 03-31-2021, 12:41 PM

If we're lucky the front lift will be finished this evening...

That booty...

Extending the lower control arms is proving to be WAY easier than I expected it would be. I'll post finished pics tonight or tomorrow.

We offer cut to length tubing if you need...

Got both LCA's lengthened and reinstalled on the car. Only got one strut tube completed before it got too late. Finishing it all up by Saturday and taking it out on a test drive! Also have a set of 2000 Focus tierod ends. Fun find today, the stock LCA's already had poly bushings!

Jerd · 04-01-2021, 12:08 AM

Nice, how much did you lengthen the control arm? Looks good man!

Tfest · 04-01-2021, 01:20 AM

Thank you! I welded in a 1/8th by 3in piece cut 6" long then cut it down to 2". Spacing the front tubes by 2" so it should work well..

Tfest · 04-01-2021, 04:14 PM

This tube is finished! Brakes/pads will be replaced soon

Jerd · 04-02-2021, 08:19 AM

Strut tube looks great. If you end up wanting more lift just let me know, I have some 1.5" upper strut mount spacers you could swing by and grab if you want.

awesome, thanks man, I'm currently worried this will be too much... .lol

Tfest · 04-03-2021, 11:32 PM

Got the lift finished and it looks amazing. Didn't need the 2" wheel spacers in the front, the tires fit perfectly without them. We'll cut more out of the fenders and add flairs soon but for now, here it is.

Tfest · 04-06-2021, 03:53 PM

Welding up a side exit cheapo-fab exhaust today, pigeon poop weld pics will be posted tonight!

Tfest · 04-06-2021, 08:34 PM

Well that was easy, sounds gnarly too.

It's a Volvo, they're quiet.

The progress looks amazing, I am excited to see how it will turn out.

Tfest · 04-09-2021, 05:12 PM

I usually hate [plastic over-fenders on 240s.... but those look good!
Do you have a side view shot?

I'm not sure what you plan on using for cutting the fenders, but a "nibbler" is a great tool for cutting thin sheetmetal in a ghetto way.
