Re: air, 93 was first year of R134, it wasn't converted.
Re: grille, there is no eggcrate that fits that one, the T one is different.
Re: CV joint, this car has none, I think he's referring to the center bearing. These normally can be moved a little bit when shaken.
Re: wheels, I think those are off an 88 7 series, and may be called 'Dersus'.
Re: lowering springs, the car will ride 'stiffer'; some like that. Not all shocks play well with lowering springs, but I don't have details.

It sure is amazingly clean. It seems to be a Regina system, spares may be sought now before they're gone altogether.

IMHO, a black eggcrate grille from a 940t would be a nice addition, would complete the white/black effect.
Yeah, I'll keep the classic wheels on there for now but will add something more updated later and keep the classics just to swap out from time to time because I like them a lot!

I'll look into that grille. I was kinda thining of painting the current one black instead. but we'll see. :D
