Yeah I want to clean the bay up a bit. This'll allow me to reach so much that I couldn't before and actually get in there and scrub the crap out of it.

No BBS. I want to run a Volvo wheel or at least a classic euro wheels.

I feel the same with diamond racing wheels,but you just cant beat those prices and the custom wheel specs

[MattHatCat]

I do like the look of the diamond racings
They suit pretty much everything

I'd just keep trawling all your locals until the perfect used set? Can be time consuming though
Although that's how I've gotten all my wheels

Got around to finishing this. 3 coats of prime and 3 coats of white. Sanding/wet sanding in between each coat. First time doing this,but a friend recommended those steps

Nice looking car. Looks like you're putting in the work on it.

Any info on the red 745?

So later today,hopefully, I will be taking off my roof rack and plugging it with the IPD kit. Im doing this
1)Because Im going to have it cut/polished/buffed and the rack will be in the way
2)I've been liking the look of the flat top



As you can see I have some surface rust. It does not going all the way through or leak. My question is How can I make sure it stays that way? I would love to eventually have the body taken care and I can see that happening maybe this winter,but that's still a few months away. I've heard mixed home remedies,but want to find a solid answer

[Z33_Taxi]

Needs some touching up,but not bad for my first time

[Z33_Taxi]

Went flat top today using IPD plug holes, will be doing it the right way...eventually. I definitely like the look



Once I had the ball rolling and went through 2 gallons of water(high 80s in NY today) I knocked out some other stuff I've been putting off.Finally took out the airbox,plugged flapper, and gutted


I need to make a bracket for the snorkel and I'm going to relocate the horns so they are out of the way...hooray productivity
