The $200 98 Expy

[Jason Tyrrell]

I found this Expy about two years ago it was in rough shape but I seen potential in it. So for the next few years I gathered parts and saved a lot of money it's a work in progress but it's pretty close to being done well they're never done.

Next was the front end.Brand new CV joint new upper and lower contro arms new unit bearing new sway bar bushings and some paint new shocks

Next was front lift. Went with 2" lift keys but that put my CV joints at odd angle so I dropped the fron diff 2" this is the rear crossmember I built

The rear got 2" lift block for the coils new shocks new links arms new Sway bar bushings
