Very pretty, perfect shoes for the perfect car. Very tasteful interior. Pictures ain't bad either.

You've got a very nicely preserved, and improved, example of the vintage 81-83 FBs.

Nice work!

Thanks guy. I'm quite happy with it, especially considering the odometer turned 335000kms the other day. The owners before me were very meticulous in it's care and obviously loved to drive it. Working on getting the A/C that was removed from the car back into it, but luckily this has been a mild summer.

Wax her early in the year and just give it a good bath (be sure to dry it off too) before I do pictures. I forgot to bring something to wipe the water lines near the back windows down after they stopped dripping, oops.

Very nice. It's funny because I saw some very similar wheels to these on a Miata (white) in my town, and thought that those wheels would look just right on my seven. Now I know they absolutely would.

So - Size and specs, and a brand name please? And hopefully they are available in 114.3 lugs.

Thanks!

Wheels look fantastic!

Question if I may. How did you mount your horn button? I bought a Nardi wheel but have no way to mount the horn button to it. I used an NRG hub with an adapter from ebay but it won't fit.

Wheels are old school Enkei 94s. As to their availability... Good luck I guess?

NRG short hub, eBay adapter and the horn button that came with the wheel. It fits snug inside the adapter.
