noob alert
hello everyone just thought i'd introduce myself, i've recently picked up my first car an '88 santana.
she's a little rough but has potential, the good bits it runs it's solid the price was right and it was half an hour away . the not so good bits, it dumped its oil from the rocker cover gasket on the way home.
it only has one leaf per corner and they're flat to inverted! it doesn't have a rear bumper, oh and previous owner had brush painted it matte black with house paint over what appears to be nice gloss black original paintwork.
shes perfect!

to the club.
Those springs look like they should so in the pic, there isn't much arch from standard on the rear and the fronts are supposed to be pretty much flat.
