Nice! How did you get the suspension back up?

If you're based in London, I'm using you as my cab the next time my company ships me out there. I mean, wow!

All the lighting you see in the above image i've fitted, the bright bar top light is glass neon on inverters and made to fit the bar top, the bar center with the glasses i had made and is light with led's as well as the rest of teh lighting being leds.

Note the flames on the bar there also in the tints and will be light up from inside.

Must admit i like the painted grill, it was in a poor state so it seemed the right thing to do.

You have turned that into one great looking ride. I love it. The lighting is perfect! :D

Been a while getting to this point and these pics of it sat dumped are only due to air loss to be honest as i still need to sort another or bigger air tank and learn about the non return valves in the system.

4 sets of front struts later with the help of Rayvern who made my front air struts that are now fitted i can show you the lowest point the stretch will sit.

I know i can take the bump stops out of the front struts to get it down another 1" but i have got to find a new position for the front air level switch 1st so not very low!

Shot along the body, Note the skull and flame is now gray but has blue light behind it.

I need some wheel nut/studs for the chrome alloys are they just the lincoln towncar ones?

The limo is looking really nice. I sure am glad to see it being restored as it should be! Great job!!:)

looks really nice, If you don't mind me asking how much did you get it for? How many miles are on there? and finally is it faster then any other limo that you had?

Yes i think its faster although i have a 6.5 turbo deisel suburban stretch.

Cost about $10000 but i've spent about $20000 on it

10000 miles ish
