[W.I.P.] Cima Y31: Work is going on

Retrofitted side mirrors. I did it for more realistic look because stock mirrors mounts have been wider than they should.
And now it has two separate parts.

I don't know what's wrong with kit rear suspension (likely due to negative offset of aftermarket wheels). I couldn't to fitting flush the rear wheels in arches with not too big camber angle. So i had to shortened axles mounts and pulled rear fenders, what i did. At the same time i pulled the front fenders.

I took off rear badge, windshield washers and door handles.
 

Retrofitted rear bumper for rear fog light and enlarged cutout for new muffler tips.

Headlights and taillights reflectors.

[W.I.P.] Lexus 2GS: Chassis

Body work almost done, now is time for chassis.
Being low is the most important aspect in the modding of your luxury sedan. The lower the better. If you are on air suspension, the goal should be to park on the ground or as close to it with the ride height being flush. On this car, I like the tucked look better but flush is always sick.
So, tucked rear and flush to the front fenders - that's what i want to do.

Kit includes stock and lowered steering knuckles and arms. I took the lowered ones, cut them off and changed wheel hubs to stock. I did it for stock brake discs, because stock and tuning brake discs has a different mounting to hubs. At the same time i increased angle for more camber.


Also i added spacers for front upper control arms and made a custom front lower control arms for shortened and angled steering knuckles.

I did the same in the rear suspension. Besides i shortened underframe (red line - stock height)

That's what i got
