March 24, 200917 yr got a new car to hack up its just like my 88 EA82 White Walker Wheeler, I like the wheeler it does awesome for what is is but I miss my old car, after looking at a few old pics of when I first built it 3 years ago and what it was like then I decided to build up a new one but a little bigger, the wheeler has a 3-1/2" lift and the new car will get a 6" the old one has 27" tires new one will get 30" old has a Carbed EJ 2.2 new gets the Ej 2.2 with Fuel injection, I miss the rear hatch and room in the back, this one will be my daily driver and light wheelin, no dents, the cars in decent shape, same white with blue/grey interior, electric windows, has blown heads ,its complete and ready for some mods, this one Im going to keep the body stock and just do a little trimming for the tires, heres a few pics
March 24, 200917 yr a 6 inch lift :slobber::slobber: amazing. can't wait to drool over this thread...
March 24, 200917 yr Sounds like a good plan Scott, it's always nice to start with a clean straight body, but once that lift gets put on you start getting crazy ideas, that's why i"ll never lift the touring wagon......Sweet score though Scott can't wait to see the final product!! Jef
March 24, 200917 yr Author yes its always nice to start over, alot less work, I will be designing new tube bumpers and alloy skid plate too
March 24, 200917 yr yes its always nice to start over, alot less work, I will be designing new tube bumpers and alloy skid plate too and then when it gets dented you will start looking at it funny with a cutting torch/sawzall, etc.
March 24, 200917 yr Author and then when it gets dented you will start looking at it funny with a cutting torch/sawzall, etc. maybe thats the future

April 12, 200916 yr Author Made some progress today finished up welding the lift parts and got the rear all lifted Heres the parts used some alloy parts I had left from my first car the red one that was 4 years ago wow!! Heres my Jig its a chunk of the old blue Bomber Edited April 23, 200916 yr by Scott in Bellingham pics
April 12, 200916 yr Now that's a rake! Mine wasn't as bad with the 13's and 4" lift, but at least you won't be driving it to work. I like that rig you used, instead of having to spot weld it up on the car!
April 17, 200916 yr Author Looks good!!! now for the harder part.................... Jeff Hard part done now for the engine swaporoo
April 17, 200916 yr Im new at some of this but wouldnt if of been easier to change the motor when the car was closer to the ground. I like the way it looks without doing any trimming.

April 22, 200916 yr Im new at some of this but wouldnt if of been easier to change the motor when the car was closer to the ground. I like the way it looks without doing any trimming. actually when i did my EJ22 swap having the car with the 2inch lift and 27's made it ALOT easier because then i didn't have to jack up the car to remove the exhaust or anything like that just crawl under. lookin good scott
