Oh man it looks so much better now! These coils are beautiful looking as well
Thanks, hope they will stick in the carwash.Originally Posted by obdriver6
I'm happy with the way it turned out. The shocks default settings was max. stiff. Put it to max. soft and now it's a acceptable ride.
No tire rubbing until now and drove it with 3 people yesterday.
The install was easy. Only have to find a nice way to mount the front brakelines.
I can not understand how you have them laying arround for 6 month....
Waiting for the pics...
Yeah, MUCH better. The 'before' pic looks like a joke now.Oh man it looks so much better now! These coils are beautiful looking as well

My stickers have survived about 3 carwashes already, so I think they're good.
About the laying around thing: I wanted to wait till after the snow/salt period. That has ended about a month ago, but haven't had a minute to do anything to the car... Have been working 7 day/week lately, but hopefully that has ended now!!
Pics will be in my own pics thread this saturday!
Looks awesome! I feel you, when I see pics of how my car used to be I'm like "WTF! Did I really used to roll like that!" The decals seem like they are tough, mines been on my car since Nov '11.
Awesoooooooooome!
The aero is looking so damn good now, time to drive and enjoy.
looking good, that other aerodeck looks pretty mint for a parts car!
Thanks guys!!
This was what the car needed.
Took out the last 1 cm on the rear as well.
I was afraid it would not clear the fender, but amazingly it does.
Can not even get my little finger between it.
The rusty fender will be next.

Isn't the rear lower than the front now you dropped it another 1 cm?
In my opinion it looks strange when it does..
The rear was a little higher then the front.
This last picture is not taken on even ground, the wheel wil come out a little more when it is.
Mmkay... Front and rear are even on my car as well, both max low, so it would've been weird if yours wasn't!
you guys make me want to dump my car...lol
3gees just look sexy dumped

Damn Fedor, what happened?
Good thing is you've got a parts car!!
Some girl in front of me braked to the max, when i was looking right.
When i looked to the front again, it was to late.....
Allready started the fix.
Don't know if it can be pulled straight again, or if i have to take the front of the parts car....

That sucks man. Good luck with the fix!
Keep us up to date!!!
BTW I'm missing my Aerodeck already, although I really love the VW.
Too bad I can't afford to buy an Accord as a second car! :p
Hows things.
Any progress?
Tomorrow it's of to the painter.
Can't wait to put it back together.

Yeah your right, but i was planning on doing it in 2 years or so. And then in summer time...sucks about the crash, but i see it has its upsides to it now with getting a new paint job
Now i have to wait for a few weeks, for it to return from damage repair and painting.
Then buy one right now. There are a few left, but most of them have lots of rust. Like my parts car, and my previous 2 Aero's.

Had a little surprise behind the rear bumper:
Fixed it like this:
But did not like it, found some new bumper support at a Honda dealer in Germany.
Now it's like this:
BTW: Went to the painter today, car is still standing there just like i dropped it 1 month ago, catching dust....
It gave me some time to fix the bumper and find some rare molding clips, etc. But it's time for some action.
The parts car is almost a body with no parts. Take it to the junkyard soon.
Miss driving my Aero....

Update on the rust and damage repair:
Again a surprise, in the bottom this time. (tubular beams)
2 Pics made by garage.
But when i went there today i saw progress is being made.
The front is straight again. (head light needs a little more adjustment)
And serious rust repair is been done.

Sucks that it got crashed but at least its getting some love and paint soon!
Yes, lots of love, and paint at the end of this week.
To my opinion the metalworkers that are working on my car are artists!
I could NEVER do this myselves.
The headlight house before:
And after:
Amazing!!
