88+ swap complete!

Well, everything went pretty smoothly overall, and the swap is done... well most of it. I'm saving the e-brake mess for this winter when the interior is coming out anyhow.
The car looks, feels, sounds, and handles great with the newer stuff. Oh, and it actually stops now!
All said and done, I recommend the swap to anyone.
Total invested into the swap:
Tires $380
Wheels $150
88+ components $100
SPG springs $75
New hard brake lines for the rear axle and a few other misc bits $60
I was going to need new tires for my Inca wheels anyhow, as well as new rear brakes and a wheel bearing for sure. All said and done, I figure it worked out about the same $ wise with a bit more elbow grease on my part.
But I say again, I'm very happy with the swap, and I think my 85 is too! The stance and new track of the car both look really great.
Next up... Trionic 5 in less than 2 weeks!
