The build of SVT #3658

ZX3_Dude wrote:if it doesn't...who cares. It's not like the fender matches now

The fender is off a 2003 CD Silver wagon...so hopefully the silver is close. But like I said...if it doesn't match, whatever. It'll look a shitload better than the dull, dark, crushed fender does now

it seems like a pretty easy color to match up. my doors and fender match the rest of my car. its an 02 and the doors were off of an 04 with almost half the miles

old and busted: (it was actually worse than this, didn't take pictures though)



yeahhhhhh



installed and clearanced so there are no issues with a 215/45-17



and then I threw the 16s on the front so I can get 2 205/40-17s put on tomorrow and ditch the 215/45-17s




It's slowly getting less ghetto!


21 3/4" in the front, rear is getting dumped tomorrow night.


I took the SVT sideskirts off both sides, I hate them...I'm going with a pair of plain jane black plastic skirts that came on the early Foci. The fender came from a junkyard, and it matches surprisingly well considering it was off of a 2003. Euro front coming soon...

Hmmmm this sounds familiar.... I think there was this one girl who did that..... I think her name was Arm......

I'll clarify....SVT skirts look great on SVTs or stock US bumpers, but they don't flow with Euro body parts at all. Conversely, those black ones look like ass without Euro bumpers

Who has Euro bumpers and who never did? Yup.

oh and Brinton:

k gotcha. thxxx

You need some US 2000-2001 side skirts?

Do you have some laying around?

I have a trade worked out with Jeremy for a brand new set he has...


However I would MUCH rather get a hold of a pair of R/S collection skirts like you have, I wish I could find a set

Wasn't referring to you, was referring to who you compared me to....

You know Josh, getting those black skirts will work great with the black around the bottom of the rear bumper and the black SVT lip. That will flow nicely

That's right she likes 'em shaved although it don't look like she knows how to

That is EXACTLY my idea

If you do get another set of black skirts without trading, I'd like your SVT skirts.

today's update.

hokay did work today/tonight.

Got some 205/40-17s put on 2 wheels. Moved the 205/45s to the rear, put the 205/40s on the front. Removed the adjusters from the rear too.

Pretty darn low.

So my skirts don't flow?

Fuck, I'll have 2 nice silver fender to replace that hideous one. But you"ll have to re-roll.

In my opinion, no. But you know what they say about opinions....

Opinions are like buttholes. Everyone's got one and they all stink

It by no means looks terrible, it's just not my cup of tea. I have the ability to change it, so I will

Still you and the slocus

I know. Just giving you a hard time.

slocussvt wrote:I know. Just giving you a hard time.

I like when you give Josh a Hard time, I think he enjoys it too

I know a certain bosnian that likes being given a hard time by T-Pain, but that has a little more chopping and screwing

i have a set siting in my in gayage im not using

SVT skirts or black ones?

Yeah Josh I have my OEM side skirts from the race car you can have if you want them. I have to get to the storage unit to find them.

I definitely want them!

Thanks

Where are the Beach Club pics?

SVT3658 wrote:I definitely want them!

Thanks

Ok, then i'll save my set.

SVT3658 wrote:SVT skirts or black ones?

black stock ones

i need to head to the junkyards for a set of black 00-01 skirts too

JOSHHHHHH WHERE YOU ATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Unfortunately I had a horrible call from Josh a minute ago.

A flying road-alligator got his focus. Front bumper is fucked up along with driver side fender. I'm hoping shit gets worked out with insurance and hope he has a safe drive home.

Just saw the pics of FB, sucks man.

Hopefully that shit gets worked out.

RIGHT HERRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE


Yeah I got raped by a road gator. But Mike (Rudel) is awesome and going to help me out!

glad to see that you are okay, cops rolling deep lol

lol yeah they were.

Been in Orlando/Miami for the past 10 days. Had pretty much no internet time.

Josh sucks man, let me know if you want me to go fender hunting tomorrow when I hit up a few yards on my day off for some recently arrived goodies.

Bellicose87 wrote:glad to see that you are okay, cops rolling deep lol

If it were Bel Air there'd be six more, shit we got cop cars for cop cars for cop cars

Thanks Ken but I've already been covered...Mike (Rudel) graciously offered me the parts he's taking off of his SVT to do the RS conversion!!!

I'm going down to Tampa on Sunday to pick them up from him

hey Josh, are you reusing the front bumper? if not, how bad is it?

It's not terrible, but it's not "right" ....

There are quite a few spider cracks throughout it, and it s deformed a bit.

My friend Kyle in Orlando has already laid dibs on it if I am going to get rid of it (his bumper is cracked from him hitting a dog). But if he turns out to not need it I'll let you know!

I have a Euro bumper I'll sell, it needs a good amount of work though

Or you can fix the euro bumper and toss the svt bumper away.

Profit.

Yea or Nea ?

Also, ordered 2 tires for the front. Need to get my car aligned....I'm fucking chewing tires in the front.

Are those the same ones that Jake has???

No, Jake had a friend do his...and he wan't to happy with how they came out

Yea!
