    Thanks man! Mocked up the fender mirrors and decided I didn't really like em that much. Nah I couldn't paint the c1's the centers are carbon fiber.

    Got my drivers side mirror completed and mounted

    And I'm still tweaking the suspension, haven't got it set quite right yet

    And here a pic from a local guys site http://officialthreetwenty.com/

    Fender mirrors arrived, did a test for and decided a smaller stock location mirror would look better, so I hacked up a spare with broken glass. So far it's almost together, and also extremely small compared to stock

    thanks, was more concerned about whether or not the power handling given by the manufacturer of the sub was legit or not



    soooooo, somewhat bad news first, got tires on the wheels only to find out the silicon didn't completely seal. short story is I am gonna have to re silicon them. gonna be a pain to do but i can only blame myself.


    now for the good news. was browsing kijiji the other day and stumbled upon a set of one of my dream wheels at a good price. driving to Edmonton tommorrow to pick em up. if all goes well they will be mounted tommorrow before the end of the day
    and le tease:

    I could only find pics of one set mounted on an old datsun, have yet to see a set of these in person so I am very excite
    needless to say they are very rare, and awkward. should look right at home on a lowered satty

    That could get expensive quick, and I already have a spare mirror with cracked glass that I could work from. Thanks for the suggestion tho.

    Oh and before I forget, loving the build. The car isn't my favorite, but to each his own.
    I'd love to see that to, uncommon cars seem to be popping up on here more and more however. Thanks.

    I will likely get another spare stock steering wheel and press out the centre part that has the splines then weld it to a homemade adapter or get a machine shop to make me something to bolt up to a quick release
