The rear wheel wells had a lumpy roll done a while ago, the tires still rubbed a bit and surface rust was starting. Pushed them out to make room for a 265 tire and cleaned up the rust.
With the lazy fender roll
Gained 1/2" more clearance but the quarter panel warped and few dents in the immediate area, so that's being smoothed out.
The floodgates for bodywork has been opened now that the last bit of acceptable paint is gone, the rear bumper is going to be repaired along with shaving the antennae port. Hopefully it will be painted all one color before the end of the year.
Got the 96 Tailights in along with the SC badge,
Paint is done for now, just needs a bit more sanding.
Walbro 255 and a Knock Gauge will be going in soon, I'm hoping to find the real limits of the stock ecu. Most say 8psi but some have pushed it to 10psi so I bought the knock gauge, For science.
It looks like where you live you're better off with a Jeep than a lowered SC lol. I can see why it never gets washed, I mean what's the point when the road to the house is all dirt anyways.

That's the, "nice" part of the road too. Not worried about it being clean just wish I could have a lower ride height without cracking another subframe.
Fuel line blew while driving, the front of the car engulfed in flames within seconds. Got to the shoulder kept the hood shut and used up the extinguisher, it kept the flames down until the fire dept arrived 5-10 minutes later at which point the flames picked up again. They had to go at the front of the car with crowbars to open the hood, and tore at the fender to try and pry the hood mounts out.
Overall the chassis harness from the firewall forward will need replacing, obviously everything in the engine bay, front clip, possibly the front coilovers, and the brake and fuel lines. I'm not sure if this chassis will live on or not, it will depend on if I can find a smoggable sc400 that dosent cost a fortune in Norcal.
