my new project
well here it is basically stock rx in pretty rough shape but a super strong heart




well thats it as of right now lol... suspension is first, im going to keep the apex i n1 exhaust, do a 5 lug conversion, finish up the body (most of the work is going to be here) and finish it off with a 20b hopefully by the end of the year. the list is long and expensive but ive wanted an fc for a few years now and this one kind of fell into my lap

I've always wanted to get a set of stock wheels widened. That would be rad.

Well I was thinking of doing it with some GXL wheels. Or 10-spoke TIIs. I love the positively '80s look of the TIIs.
