Nope, been parted out and the shell was cut up and scrapped.

Thank you.
And lips are polished now... Time for assembly.

Looks awsome.

All sealed up and ready to be mounted up on friday when the car goes to the shop to completely change the front end set-up to be able to run these properly....


heres a better picture for comparison, of how they looked when i first got them in my hands....

ok, well.... after changing all the front end suspension parts back over to the original mk2 stuff ( ball joints,tie-rods, custom axles, steering knuckles, custom hubs, dual-drilled rotors, calipers,control arms) the wheels are on.... still havent messed with the ride height, and still need some minor spacer adjustments...but im just happy they are on at this point....
and....after all that,

my buddy called me yesterday mid-way through the process to tell me they were actually 15's....and not the 16" wheels i had originally thought (didnt think twice to measure them because the previous owner owns a very reputable tuning company and i assumed he knew what he had bought/owned....) no big deal, just ended up having to buy a completely new set of Toyo Proxies T1r's.... ...so they are actually 15x8"s ...not a big deal...i still love them....
heres a few crappy pictures.....
