@KRH thank you for the kind words. The car was built by the PO back in the 90's. He was very eccentric, actually a really cool guy with a lot of crazy ideas. He did so much to the car I don't really know where to start. To give you some understanding he had put a mannequins arm coming from the center console where the radio would be, and in the hand was a 90's Pioneer DVD remote control. CRAZY right lol
The car specs:
Koenig widebody kit
Speedline Alessio wheels, 18x10.5 front and 18x13 rear (original Speedline barrels - they had 18x13 etched in them)
Full roll cage
Full carbon fiber interior, dash, headliner, door cards, c pillars etc)
660hp Big block chevy engine
4 speed muncie transmission
Full air ride suspension
Custom black paint with ghost flames
Panther mural on the trunk drawn by a American veteran Vietnam POW
1500watt sound system
Full digital dash
Thats most of what I remember. There was a lot more details.

Six speed is from a Mercedes Benz W210 E-Class E320

 

[wyzer]

and so what 6 spd manual are you using and what was the process

Thanks man. The 6 spd manual if from a W210 E320 Mercedes. A custom adaptor plate for the bell housing was made, it is designed to fit both m119 and m117 engines.

I dropped the wheels off today to Love20bee.com
They are getting fully rebuilt and stepped up from 17" to 18".

New size will be:
Front 18x10 with 3" polished lips
Rear 18x13 with 6" polished lips
Face will be powder coated gloss black
And all hardware will be restored

 

[wyzer]

Thanks for the positive responses to the build guys. I am waiting for the wheels to return from Love20bee so I can get the ride height and fitment of the body perfect and will update with some more photos soon.

 

[wyzer]

Which wide body kit did you get and what are the panels made of? Is there any metal cutting involved especially in the rear fenders?

I purchased the kit from PR tuning. It is made of Fiberglass and is very good quality. It is nice and thick, its feels very sturdy and is fitting perfectly. I am very happy with it and I'm sure the finished product once paint will look great.

Watch this video for help with how to fit the rear quarters (4:45min is a good place to start):

Cheers guys
