holly crap man, that setup can not be safe! Who did the 4 link setup? That is NOT a professional job bro, those welds look like a 4 year old did them! Is the bottom bag bracket welded to the axle? I have done numerous 3 link wishbone setups (years ago) and have never had any complaints, i say have it redone if you buy it!

Edit: Have the C-notch redone also it doesnt look very sturdy!

This is the kit i usually used but instead of bolting on the brackets i welded them on cause it looked better. If your interested look this kit up on suicidedoors.com

That entire back half is suspect at best. I wouldn't let my worst enemy drive that thing.

If someone is trying to pass those off as tradesman welds, your being taken for a ride. Go into that deal with the expectation of redo'ing 90% of what you see in those pics. Half the welds look like rabbit turds, even the air line cut out looks like a two year old made the recess.

Dude...nice project! I got rid of my mini truck for my Mustang. To be honest, I kind of regret it sometimes. Minis are fun for sure. Enjoy draggin that thing!

Edit: The wheels look decent, IMO. Just swap the rear's from side to side. They're backwards.

the work was apparently done over 5 years ago and had been drivin on the street and apparently won a couple awards after it waas done. I dont know.
I plan on givin it a good look over, and grindin some of the welds, see how deep/strong they are. if they look decent i will grind and paint.
