I haven't gotten them mounted yet, but you can see in the pics it will be a big difference.
A few minor updates.
I replaced the plastic grommet for the tv cable and I now have 2nd, and 3rd gears. Overdrive has yet to be tested, but for now it will make it around town so I can borrow a friends lift to work on it.
On a side note, if the tranny does, crap out on me, (as I halfway expect it will) I am considering putting my t/5 in this thing. With the stock engine, and lower gears I won't have to be as careful with it. I will probably just put a shift kit in my C6 and put it in the other wagon once I finally get underway with it.
I swapped the bad wiper motor with one I saved off of my 91. Then it got a much needed tune up, with new plugs, cap, rotor, etc. It should now pass the local sherrif's inspection for out of state cars.
Now for the pics...

Overall the car will only raise up about 3 ro 4 inches, but it should give me the extra ground clearance I am looking for.
