OLD Current Project Upgrade: How To, Custom Door Panels Part 1

Credit goes to rhenry01 on s10forum


OK First Gen'ers, when I bought my truck used there was an unidentifiable substance in the bottom of the map pockets that had successfully chemically bonded some pennies to the bottom of the pockets. Since they have that fuzzy stuff on them cleaning them was almost out of the question. Besides, my wife think that they make excellent junk collectors! Well I'm doing away with the pockets and I'm going to be doing it as inexpensively as possible. I am going to be taking lots of pictures so I'll post them here so you all can follow along. This is interactive so if you have any questions or comments, fire away.

How to: Front Coilovers for a S10

Ok, I've noticed that every once in awhile, the subject of coilover front suspension will come up, but nobody ever does anything towards it..

So I figured I'll be a test mule...I went and puchased the bolt-in front coilover set from Carrera. They ended up costing $444.18 shipped, and arrived in 3 days! I was very surprised at the timely arrival. Here is the link so you can check them out yourself:

NOTE: Carrera was bought out by QA1 some time ago, heres their link: QA1 PRECISION PRODUCTS, INC. | LAKEVILLE, MN.

They arrived just as I imagined by UPS, and came undamaged and in very good quality. They feature a billet aluminum sleeve that surrounds the shock body and a aluminum collar that you adjust the spring height with...anyways, on to the install.
