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.

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!

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..

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.

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.

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.
