xt2005bonbon Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I'm actually really jealous Are you for real? In all seriousness though, the Citroen brand has some fancy suspension system which I would love to have on a Subaru. -->http://www.citroenet.org.uk/miscellaneous/hydraulics/hydraulics-1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Citroen DS 1974 - loved the car. Parts were hard to find. Peugeot 504 Diesel 1977 - liked the car. Parts were hard to find. Keeping HGs in it, even harder. BOT - good luck Joe with getting yours back on the road. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby2.5 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 So did they cut the roof and put a new one on or how did the fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublimejoe Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 I'm not sure honestly. By the first time I went to look at it the roof was already repaired and ready for paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublimejoe Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 The long wait is over! I finally picked up my car on the way to work this morning and had a second to take one quick photo. I still need to dial in my suspension, drop off to have the front windows tinted and install a few small odds and ends. Without further waiting, here it is: http://i.imgur.com/5pbjsZ0h.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssbtech Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Are you happy with their work? Nice to see it alive again! I have to ask, do you think the alignment of the super-lowered suspension contributed to the hydroplaning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sublimejoe Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Sexay! What wheels are this anyways? They are 3sdm .005's Are you happy with their work? Nice to see it alive again! I have to ask, do you think the alignment of the super-lowered suspension contributed to the hydroplaning? Very happy with their work. Best shop in the area for sure. Nah, it had nothing to do with it. Well, my tires were bad, so I guess in a roundabout way but I didnt wreck because of camber if thats what you mean.

BAC5.2 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Are those your temporary wheels, or permanent wheels?

Sublimejoe Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Are those your temporary wheels, or permanent wheels? Originally they were temporary but they really grew on me. I have another set on order but I don't know what I will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sideways the Seven Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Honestly, I'm not a fan of the new wheels, but I can definitely appreciate all the work you've put into your car and even the commitment to getting it back on track after the wreck. Very impressive and keep up the awesome work! -Brandon 2007 Chevrolet Suburban LT3 1981 Chevrolet C10 LWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby2.5 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 ^ Ditto Love the car, as you know! Not tooooo fond of the the new shoes though. But hey if you like them, I like them! Its your ride and you do what is good for you. I get people giving me crap all the time for my two tone paint. I wanted to change it for the longest time but its grown on me so I am keeping it! From the pics they did do a dang good job....have to see it in person but Im sure it looks GREAT! You will have to ask them for me whether they cut the roof off and replaced. Im curious to know in case this ever happens to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danteneon Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 ^^ x3 While I wasn't a big fan of your Rotiforms, I dislike these even more. I'm happy that you got your car back and looking sweet as hell! Still love your car...just not your wheels I like to cook my pets and my family. Use commas. Don't be a psycho.

I curious to know in case this ever happens to me Thanks! I will text the owner and ask him. They did a fantastic job, the car looks better than it ever has. Thankfully, considering the bill was nearly $8k not including the wheels or any of the additional work such as body matching all trim and sideskirts. ^^ x3 While I wasn't a big fan of your Rotaforms, I dislike these even more. I'm happy that you got your car back and looking sweet as hell! Still love your car...just not your wheels Thank you! I may change the wheels up, not sure yet though. Will go Rotiform again if I do decide on a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
