    Got the wheels painted white. I am much happier with them now.






    And on top of that I recently got another project, a 1985 535i. I think I am going to call him Floyd. It seems like a fitting name.








    Got it for $500 and it runs well, it just has what I suspect to be a bad crank position sensor and speed sensor. I already have a line on some new doors, hood, and trunk to fix some of the not easily fixed body work but other than that the car is is pretty good shape.

    I don't know really. Probably fix my fog lights, order some window visors, and then some wheels.

    I've gotta say that's a sweet ride man, I'm part of the Celica club over here in the uk and I've gotta know what lip that is, it looks tight!

    I can't believe that's 5g's in repairs they're only worth about $3k over here now! Good luck getting it back on the road.

    and i know how you feel on weird bolt patterns and specs and junk.

    bolt pattern on a focus is 4x108 and apprpriate fitment is like a 17x7 et35ish. lol.
    Man that is an odd bolt pattern. What the hell was Ford thinking?

    I am looking for something 4 door and under $1000 for my next car so I am pulling pretty hard to an e28.

    Oh don't worry I have been at this for a lot longer than Celli and I am not a total tool bag.

    Thanks guys. Fortunately the car has been fixed and is now back in my driveway. There probably isn't going to be much progress on it until next spring however since I am trying to pick up a new winter/project car.

    I am trying to get some stuff put together before I completely park it though so keep a lookout for that.

    $5k in repairs but insurance is covering it all.
