So some know, Branden sold his CQ/S2/RS2 project to me and I picked up where he left off.

To start this topic a link to his project page:

First things first. Removed all stickers and the pin strip (cell phone pic):

Both of those show what I did. I used a FWD 4000 FRONT sway bar in the rear of my coupe.

LMK if you need more help,

I never knew they were rare until I went to Carlisle.
My car might have been the only car with one.

Yeah I didn't know they were rare either both of my coupes had one. One got totally smashed and the other has a crack around the plastic block that holds the clip in place on the right side. Any easy fix on those? Or am I sol?

Nope, he is a good friend. FWIW, that is the only 5 speed impala in the world. All custom. Also supercharged and I helped custom install a HUD in the dash for him. Lots of one off stuff on that car. Granted it is not what we think is impressive, but to each their own. I give him tons of respect for going above and beyond. He is also the friend that bought my pearl white CQ... and without his help my CQ would probably not be done, thus that photo would have never happened

IF anyone cares, you can check out his build here:

I do miss mine. Best old pic of mine. After the 25 year rule I hope to get my hands on a S2 coupe

Sorry I have been MIA. I am still around, just not in the garage... inside the new home.

We bought a new house a 2 weeks ago and I have been over there working on stuff for 3 weeks (owner was not around, so he let me check up on the pool/grass and paint the stuff the bank wanted me to).

Congrats on the new house! I bought my first ever house not too long ago.
