That's cool about the body then. As for the wheels, I wasn't talking handling or performance in any way. Purely asthetics, haha.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Ya I know, I'm just not super concerned with asthetics or 'stance' on this car. It's subtle and clean, just my style :) If anyone has a set of 5mm spacers they wanna let me borrow, LMK. Otherwise I'll put the cash towards fixing this axe gouge in the qpanel.

I can get you some washers to put on the wheel studs between the wheels and brakes. That'll space 'em out!

The title needs changing...i wouldn't classify this as a beater anymore..maybe needs a little TLC, but no longer a beater. Well done Scheides...looks great man!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

I need to change the title of this thread like you need a higher post count. It is and always be a beater to me. Don't hate :P

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Ya don't need to get so angry i was just trying to say it looks great :)

Re: beaterX project thread
 

The trunk lid looks really nice now! Can't wait to see how the rest of the car looks when they get done with it.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Love the Wrinkle Black finish on the UICP! and the Trunk lid looks sexy!!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Looking good!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Not mad man, just tellin ya my plan :) Most epic project theads include personal commentary at some point, right? ;)

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Looks nice!! It will be sweet when shes all patched up.

Yea dont bother with spacers because youd need 20mm and up spacers to even make the wheels flush. Which would look awesome, but thats just too much.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Longer studs, bolt on spacers... There are options that work and don't cost a lot.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Oh I know, id for sure do it, but scheides isnt too into looks. :)

Re: beaterX project thread
 

That trunk lid looks very good. Now hand over the spoiler please. :D

Re: beaterX project thread
 

It's in the attic of my garage, wanna cut some holes in your car? :)

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Yet he's putting money into the body and not mods. :)

Re: beaterX project thread
 

... yea into fixed rust, scratches and dents... Big difference between that and what Im talking about.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Like I said, the opportunity is there to get it done on the cheap by some good guys in a pro shop. I like opportunities, not wheel spacers. But, like I said about 10x now, I'll consider it down the road, but just not gonna fuk with them right now. I don't need the hassle of shit not fitting, swapping rims to see what looks good, blah blah blah, I frankly don't care!

Everything I've done so far has been about simple, basic mods and maintenance: getting the car to a good baseline of a clean, reliable, evo. Turbo, wheel spacers or wider wheels, alky injection, underglow kit, and the air-ride kit will come in time. I've only owned the car for like two months!

I still can't believe I'm defending myself for not doing stupid shit to this car.

I haven't been hating Scheides, i think your progress has been great. I just like joking around with you about a turbo/alky setup. Modding too fast is bad anyway, slow and steady wins the race.
