yea we know it's not everybody's cup 'o tea, that euro-lowrider era of the early 90's is what me and my buddy grew up in, we had euro's back then (me a CRX with daytons and hydraulics, he had a candy accord with roadsters) and that's when we met and first starting hanging out. it's kind of a nostalgic thing for us...

Rockin it pure old skool. Dont cut any corners take your time and remain very patient. Im doin the same thing you are with a rebuild of my 88 hatch. My partner back then had a 200 SX that was euro-tricked with switches so I know the love and bet, we are still best friends today. I had the car in my sig 20 years ago which was an '86. Im almost done with it...Call it a mid-life "issue"...:uh:

1.50 for a can and $2 for a bottle over here...

And on topic, gotta say I'm with geddy on the offset of the wheels. But I guess that's what lowriders should look like.

Think it'll look pretty hot when you get done :)
