no, no, no it's done we want pictures of it on the road  take care!  It does look good, and the new muffler treatement it has had since then makes it even better  and it drives pretty good as well |

Front are 135r15 and rear 205/70 disks or drums up front? Suspension? Any rubbing issues with the 8's? I'm assuming they are replica 15x5.5's? |

5cm (2 inches ?) narrowed beam with sway a way, 4 KYB shocks and drums. Indeed, the Empi 8 are replicas from the 80's in 5.5 ! The front of the car is low so I have to pay attention on the speed bumps but I have no rubbing issues, and I can turn the wheels to the max... So, everything is okay |

My 72.... not looking so hot here  getting there....  the whole rear(all black parts and rear valance) will be removable   i still don't know what to do about paint, get that metallic blue matched and spray over the repairs or go for a low budget rustleum (sp) paint job in a different shade or colour.... |
