yeah i just sent the coilovers off to tein to get them freshened up a bit... the wheels are 7.5in. wide.... they are offset enough to clear the coilovers, but they just barely fit in the rear so im pretty sure they are gonna stick out in the front..... set of 20mm wide fenders will cure the problem though

the guy that owned the car before me had the tires mounted on the wheels in the wrong direction.... i had the new wheels actually for that car before it got hit so i wasnt overly concerned with the tires on the car......

lets try not to "criticize" that which does not matter now

THE CHASSIS IS BENT ON MY PRJOECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!...... BUT DONT WORRY..... im picking up a good vert this weekend to finish this project with.... pics to come shortly

I like how you used a dime and some glue as a block off on the throttle body
