I may or may not. Those old SenDels were a lot less valuable than these, so I wouldn't have blinked at ruining them. These are a whole 'nother story

I put about 3.5 hours in today, and took some pics. I'll post them up once I'm done editing.

Woohoo!

Got an unbelievable deal on a set of RZs (ahem... $60....). They are 15x7.5 ET20 or so. They will get polished lips and painted centers. As of right now, they are in incredible shape metal-wise. Finish-wise, it appears as though they were spray-painted by a 4-year-old. That can be fixed! On the other hand, they do have the old-style centercaps which leave the lugs exposed.
