I moved the thread into the appropriate section. Awesome car to rebuild!! Did you remove the engine for a rebuild? How long have you owned the car?

I bought a car back in November, and got it delivered to my buddies house in NC, to get it in running conditions, the initial idea was to rebuild the engine from the get go, but after discussing the health of the engine as of right now we opted for use whatever is left of life on the engine.

Mikuni carb and sidedraft intake to be install.

The fuel pump is not keeping up with the new intake carburetor setup, awaiting on new pump and regulator. Thanks Nick! Is being a good making decisions process, that is all I can do from the distance, but is in good hands.

New Wheels and tires

New wheels are JNC jnc021 15"x8" +20 Great clearance on the rear, the front on stock suspension with Racing Beat lowering springs, the inner rim is about 3/4" really close so I stretch the tires to Solus Kumho 175/55/R15. At some point will add coilovers but for now, stretch it is.

Front view no rubbing

Rear flush, no rubbing

Decent wheel gap on Racing Beat lowering springs, lol
