Sir Rupert,

Very nice job. You could lower it .5" or so and get a slightly more evil stance.

Oh, yeah, open a free Imagestation account and upload there. Then all you have to do is provide the link to that location and we all can browse the pix at will.

Rock on.

the wheels fit right up.. no spacers, the offset is perfect.. and i think stupify got them off of a '99(?) GT.

Ronac, they were a BITCH to put in... first, i had to get the measurements. then i had to line the brackets up with the seats. it wasn't easy. i had to drill holes in the brackets with titanium bits to line it up with the holes in the seats. after i got that done i found out the brackets were too narrow to fit on the floorplan.

"****" is what i said... so i took the brackets back off of the seats and drilled and grinded the holes that go into the floorplan wider(outwards). so i put them back on the seats then bolted them up to the floorplan. but wait...

"****" is what i said again after i realized i was about 1/2 an inch too narrow, still. so i took a crow bar and stratched out the brackets so the bolts would line up to the floorplan. also keep in mind to soak the floorplan bolts in some solvent stuff to get rid of all the rust and dirt.

hope that makes sense...

and stealth, RB is GREAT. the headers/midpipe/exhaust combo is awsome. quiet but deep at the same time. when you downshift it sounds like you're in a ferrari

Sir Rupert Hobo .. like i said before I lowered my car a inch and the front scrapes a lot. Just so you know its not a pretty site. Just going down the road it does it and if you like to turn fast you can't. Just a warning

damn, didn't know it scraped that much.. maybe i could just punch out the wells or push them up if i do lower it.. think it would help?

the tails would be sweet. but i'm saving for something else for now.

and when i take more pics of the updated interior i'll take some of the seat rails.

Very nice!
I especially like the design of the rims and the carcol/grey colour really suits the black.

rxm307,

I havn't seen stang wheels for sale anywhere in australia. I guess the only way to get them would be to import them but the cost of shipping would be a killer.

Where abouts in australia are you?

She is absolutely beautiful.

I especially like the rims (even though they are Mustang rims), and those seats...well those make the entire interior. How about some facts about what you got running in there, besides the RB Exhaust .

Quick question: Have you got any large pictures (like desktop size?). PM me if you do, I want to put her up on the desktop if ya don't mind.

I wish I would of kept the wheels now. Since I will be putting a v8 in as soon as spring comes I could use the width of the mustang wheels. I might just have to buy another set. Also if anyone sees this I will be selling my fully rebuilt engine that won't even have 7k miles on it yet. pm me if interested in engine. I'd sell now if price was right. Also for all the v8 haters sorry rotary is a good engine I just need more power and torque.
