Espero by Viper

[ViperZG]

Hi, my name is Vedran , I am from Croatia and I drive a 97' Daewoo Espero

So here it is..

it was like this before I got my hands on it





I bought some new rims, from factory 185/65/14 I went to 215/35/18



I had to put some track spacers on the rear axle , 2cm on each side




but then it was normaly very high , it looked like a monster truck
so , I ordered Eibach springs -30mm for it, but by mistake they gave me -30mm for Nexia , and it lowered the front about 70mm and the rear about 40mm , I was very pleased









that was it for a while..

then the project started

because of the big rims, the rear brakes looked silly , so I got the rear axle from a Vectra 2.0

first I dissasembeled it..because it was rusty and didn't work ..


By ViperZG

I got rid of all the rust and painted it in mat black


By ViperZG

the callipers were repaired , fitted with new parts..


By ViperZG

old vs. new discs


By ViperZG

new discs painted in mat black


By ViperZG

all new parts fitted and assembeled


By ViperZG

old vs. new axle


By ViperZG

after a while driving and parking , I scratched a rim , so I decided to repair them and paint them

painted the inside in mat black


By ViperZG

very carefully I had to tape the rim to be painted


By ViperZG

the rims repaired and painted


By ViperZG

on the car with the new disc


By ViperZG

then it was the cars turn, so I started do take it apart

Tohle už je trochu mimo, ztratilo to Bertoneho duši.
