Looks like you're doing work on this bad boy. Nice to see ya didn't waste any time getting it up to your standards. I'll have to take a peek at it at the dyno day.

Standards, like functional/non-screaming power steering and brakes that I can trust? Yea, the bar is pretty high there! LOL!

I just wish I had one more week before the dyno day, so much to do! The next two weeks with this car are gonna be insane. Oh well, you'll have to come out to the weekly meets, or check it out at the cookout :) Pics online cannot show you how beat up the body really is :( This thing truely is a beater!

Thats kinda what makes me sad about your cars. I would had dished out another 3k and got a mint one. I dunno.

Mixed emotions of love/hate, I get it, always have :)

Woulda coulda shoulda. Mint ones are tough to find too, unless you wanna *really* travel, and then the price can go way up. I could have easily spent $29k + travel expenses on a really clean one, but whatever, I'm happy for now :)

3/4 Rota P45F's were left intact after the crash, one with a few scratches and curb mark, but it was straight and the tire was good, so I kept it. I ordered one new 18x8.5, 37offset P45F from wheeldude.com and one new Sumitomo HTR ZIII from tire rack. The tires on the other rims had about 300-400 miles on them, so I figure should be good to go.

Thanks Ricer Pete (polishmafia) for mounting these for me! Maple Grove Goodyear FTW!

Lots of doubters/haters, but I think they suit the car just fine :)

Also, I had wired in my V1 to the dome light, but it seemed to be killing the battery, even though I'd unplug it each time I turned the car off. Fun fact, that is a computer-controlled circuit, so it lets current continue to flow and the battery drains away. Thanks rosey for helping me route it down to the cigarette lighter! Now it's on/off with the ignition too, woowoo!

The wheels look good, but they could use a little more offset. I can't wait to see this thing in person!
