A few pics of my BM I bought in Jan 2007 as a non working lowrider from a mate who was in need of cash quick. It was only supposed to be a bit of fun for that summer but i got it on the road at the end of April 07 and I've used it daily ever since. Over the last 2 years I've re-worked the hydraulics, changed all the batteries, replaced most of the front susspension, made an exhaust and done a bunch of other little jobs. First pics are with the 18" wires that came with the car now removed due to loose/broken spokes

I love this! The best possible way to make a 7-series look good, and the only way I would roll in one. Well done.

Loved it at RRG btw. ;D Nah, I't would take another 2 pumps and some clever wiring OR a complicated multi valve manifold and some even cleverer wiring. I can't be arsed TBH, I'm going to concentrate on getting the Chrysler to do it instead (it will have 4 pumps) Hello by the way

Wow that is low. It's a good good thing you can lift a bit when you need to.

Can't wait to see it on the Chrysler. Will it still be the only one not in America to be able to do it? Hello to you too btw.

I think so, the Chrysler club told me they only knew of four '66 Newports in the country and I was the only one hacking at one with a grinder. As lowriders they're also pretty rare in the states because full-chassis GMs and Fords are so much easier to do

I've decided not to lowride the Eldo, it's an 8.2ltr FWD!! so wouldn't lend itself to hydros very well and being a rag-top, it still looks quite pretty so I'm going to sell it before I mess it up EDIT: Some Cadillac pics now here That's going to be really really cool when it's done! Cheers, I hope so..........................of course, it might just snap in half ;D
