Absolutely beautiful car! Can't wait to see the interior with the new seats in place. Are your wheels 16x7? It's got a great stance.


Thank you, nor can I. Should be later this week that i get the seats in. Work travel plans changed this moring so that means i can put in a few hours in the evening this week and get the remainder in. The wheels are 16x7 Euromeisters with 205/50s on them, purchased before Eckler's went overseas. Shocks are Bilsteins with 140lb. or 180lb. springs.

One step closer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) One of the two recovered seats in and just some speakers and pods to install. Holding off on putting the center console back in. I'm going to try it for a while without. It's raining right now out here in California or I would take it out and run it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Just read your topic while doing some research. Hopefully I find some bumpers like those later in the future.

Car looks great. How do you like your body man and paint shop? Do mind sharing their contact info?
