Im gonna use the fender roller once its fixed and then use a hammer to smooth things out, its ok, I can get it pretty good, thats the method I used on my Infiniti

Nothing crazy, but I sold my stock bumper with my Soarer badge, gonna use the cash for some new tires

Then I put them up for sale and sold them, BOO!!

Yes I know, Im a wheel whore. I have my eye on another set at the moment and just waiting for the owner to sell them to me. Lets see how long I have to wait

In the meantime, my short hub adapter came in from NRG cause I sold my OEM GS300 steering wheel

Also ordered a new fender roller for myself, once I get the wheels I will roll everything and get the fitment squared away...

Well after almost 2 years the car is finally coming home!
What some of you may have guessed, life got in the way.
Apartment complex told me to move my car out of garage since its NON-OP. So the car went to my brother in laws place. Then I quit my job and started my career in ship building in San Diego. I commute 65 miles one way
Then we finally got approved for a house with you guessed it, A GARAGE. But not just a garage, A FUCKING 4 CAR GARAGE!

Anyways, we've only been in the new house for a couple weeks and it was time to bring home my baby.

Expect more updates regularly as I have big plans now that I have space to work on my car

So I ended up trading the front bumper for a set of KBD overfenders, then quickly sold those to bring in some cash

I picked up a new steering wheel, I love Thrash Racing and would love to get some of their black leather racing seats but the wheel will do for now

Sold a bunch of stuff which was nice, and I picked up a set of OEM Corvette rears, 19x10 +79 and 19x12+59. They had plastidip on the x12s so I had to pick up some Dip dissolver to remove all that shit.

Oh you might also have noticed the cherry picker. Im getting ready to pull the motor and trans to sell to fund my new powerplant

So for the wheels, Corvettes are 5x120.65 and my car is 5x114.3. Also the offsets are shit. That being said I custom ordered some 2.25" and 3" hub centric adapters to effectively make the wheels offset 19x10+3 and 19x12+2. I also ordered some 225/35/19 tires for the fronts and 265/30/19 for the rears. If anyone wants a pair of 345/40/19 Hoosier A7 slicks hit me up @half_lung on instagram.

Now its just a waiting game to find time to pull the motor and trans and wait for the adapters to come in.

Glad this thing is still going man!

So my gigantic adapters came in

Did a quick shitty test fit of the wheels. Just makes me excited to do body work and get the kit fitted
