A Bit of a Drop

I put new tires on last night and re-adjusted the suspension a bit. The original tires were a freebie set from my good friend Ricky (who corrected all my body work mistakes and sprayed the car). I knew that I would completely waste them as I tried to dial in the suspension settings. Also, as the springs settled, things changed. I'm working with 4.5 degrees caster and about 1/8" toe-in.  The old front tires were 225/50/16. The new ones are 205/40/16. I'm running about 25psi and will adjust from there.

Now, on to the comparison pic:

Interior Ideas....

There may be some changes coming for the interior. I'm sourcing another bench seat to modify. The current set-up is a modified bench/bucket from the back of a Fox body Mustang. It isn't holding up too well. It's getting a bit uncomfortable in the posterior.

A co-worker happens to have a bench out of a blazer. I plan on cutting the frame and foam down, or making my own foam. If possible, the rear trunk area will be modified for access from behind the seats.
