I've already got a rolling chassis so...
• strip & repaint factory Metallic Gold • stock 2.0L FI (have) • drilled 5 lug to use 15x7 Cookie Cutters (have), sticky summer tires • rolled fenders in rear • stock trans (have) -- no benefit to the 915 • A/C system of my design • sway bars • black or painted trim -- chrome is just too much bling for the color • new interior & weatherstrip On the 75 I've owned since 91, I've swapped everything but the paint (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)  (not mine)  |
