Time to go on the ground. Last week, I was two tires away, so I may as well do it.
Down off the rotisserie, and time to see how my spring choice worked out.

1. Here is the last wheel put on. Time to take the car down. |
|

2. From the front. |

3. One more shot of the wheel clearance. |
|

4. The 15 inch BMW wheels are just too small. If not tightened carefully, they rub. |

5. I actually hauled this out Friday night, because it was cooler then and my fiance was on the phone anyway. |
|

6. Outside at night. |

7. It won't come down until morning. |
|

8. One last wheelwell shot. |

9. I attached the rack so that the wheels would move together once it was on the ground. |
|

10. First indication of how tight the engine bay will be. |

11. I used my Ramcharger to move the whole thing. |
|

12. Attached by a chain. |

13. My dad gave me the idea to rotate the rotisserie out from under the car. |
|

14. Almost ready. |

15. I picked it up with a hoist and chain. |
|

16. And rotated it all the way around. |

17. Kind of cool hanging suspended like that. |
|

18. Flying midget. |

19. Letting the back down. |
|

20. This is the first time it's touched dirt in almost a year and a half. |

21. Id like to say "Yeah, I guessed the spring rates right!". |
|

22. But I can't. |

23. It's a lowrider in the back. |
|

24. It's resting on the inner fenders. |

25. Here's what needs to be cut. |
|

26. I don't know if you can see, but it's cut. |

27. I cut to the inner reinforcement. |
I did so much this weekend, that this is just Friday night, and Saturday. It's good progress.
