I've seen one on bags on the inanet before, it was sweet as shit.

The reliability on this particular one has been stellar, I've hardly had to do anything reliability related. Also, it's 5x120.65, the holy grail of bolt patterns IMO.

so are you running wobble bolts on the style 5s?

Not even, I'm a firm believer in the .65mm not making a difference. I always check my lugs, but they're always snug as a bug in a rug or some shit every time.

I'll try, I'm always trying to change something on it.



This week I'll be working with bondo to repair the pretty bad rust on all the bottoms of the fenders, these cars have pockets on the inside of the bottoms of the fenders that trap leaves and moisture, and tend to rust out. I'm pretty good with bondo, so it should go nicely. Also I need to cut the lip out from the inner fenders so I can dial in the fitment with spacers. It may not look like it. But I actually have credit card fitment thanks to the lip on the fenders. The fronts have been slightly rolled due to rubbing on full lock occasionally.

Once I stop being a lazy dick and switch over to tapatalk, I'll share what I've done to the exterior of the car already.

Oh word...this thing is sweet.

Thanks man!

So here's a couple of things I did to the exterior, just to sort of change it up a bit









I've painted the bumpers and mirrors with 3 coats of charcoal rim paint and 2 coats of clear, which I like very much, however one section of the rear bumper fucked up and I have to re-do it soon.

I also did my outer headlight X's with electrical tape, and smoked a set of '94 tail lights, with the chrome trim around them. I was able to pick them up with stress marks in the lenses for $5 at u-pull-it, which was right on track with my budget for this car

Love old jags. Especially the ones that run.

You've done a lot of things in the right direction. Careful about changing the exterior too much, as it is already badass. (don't smoke tails)

Anyway, hope to see more on this.

I actually have a lot of exterior plans in mind for this car; ideally I'd like to flare it one way or another. However, if I end up doing a nice job on the body work, I'll most likely leave it alone.

And the smoked tails actually look p good

I cut the coils on this B!

So my dad saw my tires and got mad and yelled at me, so he made me get new tires, which he threw down for. I picked up 4 used (but brand new, maybe 1000 miles tops) 225/45/17's to replace the garbage 235/45/17's, which also got rid of the weird rim protectors on those tires. I'm having trouble finding a shop to mount the tires, however. A 225 on an 8 inch rim and nobody can handle it? Amateurs.

Anyways, here's me getting ignorant taking my wheels off at my shop because my car can't get in to the other shop, so I took my wheels down there to get them mounted. They got one mounted up, and quit on the other 3.
