I hoped I could survive without a daily driver for the next couple of years as I am a student, but after a winter without a car I bought this shitbox today Pics from the add:   Main reason for purchase: cheap rwd ;D Its a 1,2l engine so it ain`t fast, will see how long I can live with that.. It has low mileage, but the old man who had it before me hasn't taken care of it, so it suffers from that I have some plans but first of all its getting lowered and its going to borrow some wheels of my driftcar(not road legal;)) Gotta love 4x100!  Got a couple of 13x8 sets laying around  |

Nice collection there man! Loads of potential in the Kadett too, especially if those Volvos of yours are anything to go by!

the car is now lowered with some Opel Ascona lowering spirng Springs for a heavier car = Stiffer spirngs = Nice stiff ride = A lot of lowering And pulled the front fenders, so I could fit 13x8 Allycats. I am going to borrow a roller and roll the rear fenders tomorrow so I can fit 13x8 there too Pics are coming All of the cars approved. What are you studying ? Thanks! I am studying to be an optometrist:) Nice practical studies, I got a year with economic studies behind me too, was not my cup of tea |

Very nice new daily Nik! Muchly approved, especially with how it sits lowered on those Allycats! Still think you should have never got rid of the other 360 though man, that thing just looked super pimp! |

So i need to roll those rear fenders, tried out the hammer/pipe method with no luck. Found a cheap roller online not far away, so more money spent..:  Nice to have:) Soon these will be fitted:  The front ride hight has settled, I am mighty pleased  Very nice new daily Nik! Muchly approved, especially with how it sits lowered on those Allycats! Still think you should have never got rid of the other 360 though man, that thing just looked super pimp! thancks! I have been offered to buy it back, miss it... |

New tires:185/55-13  Looks like this:   Thinking of more low... I have no issues what so ever with rubbing and speed bumps are no treat, hmmm that only means that I have a too high car Also got home some suspension bits and a front lip= after the exam work   |
