Long weekend interior blackout!!
Posted by JP Parts Intl on
Long weekend update: Encountered some rust on my seat rails while prepping the interior for paint. So I ground off the rust to bare metal and painted the rails gloss black. The plastidip/clear coat combo isn’t holding up as expected on the door handles. So I will be painting my dash and door panels flat black using plastic paint tomorrow.

In all the trip was pretty awesome, just the drive home was brutal since I got caught in the thunderstorm. Here are some update pics of the open mouth grill and 5 lug swap. Hopefully I’ll have the swap done within the next couple of weeks. Also, I picked up a set of msp headlights and installed them today. I really like...
5 lug/ disc brake conversion!!

After a weekends worth of wrenching with the east side crew, we finally finished lowering and installing the 5 lug swap.Thanks for everyone that came out to help me with this project and special thanks to Gary and Kat for coping with me… I really appreciate the time and effort everyone put in.
