Since I hardly ever even visit this forum, I figured now was as good a time as any to start a thread.

Just sharing the recent (today) completion of what I like to call- Operation Multiple Color, which started in 2005 or so. No more primer for me.

Yup. I molded the Sunbird GT side marker parts to the Diza bumper and made my own center grille piece.

Here's some more-

Mike(Needs Boost) Dont get me wrong Im not saying the welds are bad but by the looks of them Im thinking its a custom header..I could be wrong tho...

Thanks for the comments.

The headers are custom. And yes, some of the welds are trash. At some point I'll be building a new set that's actually equal length. These were my first attempt, and that's why I didn't get them coated.

I had a 2.2 for years, but never a turbo. Maybe you're thinking of JuicedZ4? He has a blue 1991 2.2 with turbo.

About the bumper- yes, I agree it's ugly. I was never a fan of the "spyder" kits. I kept it because it weighs less than the factory urethane. I may end up cutting off the lower lip. It's such a PITA trying to avoid potholes and driveway aprons all the time. Other than one or two guys running bags, this is probably the lowest 2nd gen out there, and I've still got maybe another inch or more of downward adjustment in the coilovers. Although, with 500+ lb springs all around, there really isn't that much travel anyways.......

After-


VERY old shot of front suspension. For some reason, I can't find anything newer-
