Well my LE resto has held me hostage long enough. I still haven't sold it & at this point I may just keep the sucker (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) . So It has been my focus for far to long. Moving on to my v8 again.
My new Rotas are 17x7.5 fronts & 17x9 rears. I can't wait to get my GT flares installed so I can put them on. I was looking for some 951 16x8 fuchs all around. After getting 2 I came across these Rota's on Pelican. They looked so damn hot I sold my pair of 951's so I could buy them. Starting this weekend I am moving the LE out of my shop & moving the LE in. Flares are going on soon. I am stocked to get my v8 going again. Paint will be coming but still deciding on color. Really pretty sure I am going Phoenix red With black bumpers, Rockers, Top & Valances. Kind kicking around some blue combination too though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Guess I need to go visit that photoshop thread again Attached image(s)

Half considered pulling an all nighter to be there saturday. I'm better off putting the money I'd spend on my v8 though. So I am going to stay home & get some work done. Somebody give me the link to that cool photoshop thread. I'm not finding it in the search with the options I am putting in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

That is flat out kick ass though Nathan. Thanks for putting that link up. Very cool options. I'd love to see the fuchs in a 17" size if it isn't to much work. I get the general idea though so it isn't critical. Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |

I am sure they are quite a bit heavier than fuchs. Since it is on my v8 car I am not to worried about it. Probably wouldn't go with Rota's on a stock 4 |

They look great in the 914 photoshop thing. My problem is possibly the front. With my radiator & the Extra Grill up there. I have basically matched the foglight grills with a big center . It's nice & subtle all in black. Not sure how I'd like that Phoenix. We will see as I have always loved the Alaska Metallic Blue (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) |

Actually if I could do that I may do a poll & really see what people think. Is that possible Nathan? |

Awesome man! I like the Phoenix Red w/Black look (like Nelson's car over at Series9).
In that utah914 photoshop thread, there was a 'pearlized' Porsche Yachting Blue over black/chrome that was killer. |

So Jerry PM'd me & has an opening to put my flares on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) . Going to drop it off saturday. Can't afford to get it painted yet but I can live with a little rat rod look for a while. Jerry will get them installed & ready for paint. Then they can sit in primer for a while. I'll drive it for the summer.
Next summer the buick 215 is getting pulled & a LS1 is going in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

Dropped my 914-8 off at JMmotorsports to get my flares installed. Jerry does amazing work & I can't wait to get it back. I had my new tires installed on my 17" Rota's replica fuchs too. It's going to be sweet to get them on my car. Only wish I could afford to paint it now. I do have some Phoenix red I could spray the quarters with for a temporary job. It's that or I stick with the rat rod look through summer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Added the hitch today so I can tow my 914 trailer behind my v8 conversion. Went pretty well. Huge thanks to Ian for doing all the welding for me. I think it turned out good. I'll get a bumper on it tomorrow & take a picture with the hitch in place. I've got to get my MC leak fixed in the morning. Once I have that I'll hook up the trailer & get another pic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
