The wheels come in 5x114.3 16x7 too
Second branch is good...i drive it all the time on my way to Chesdin for work......it is just not the same in a 1993 Ford Aerostar Van though.

AWESOME mike! I say we DEFINITELY go for a drive this weekend to celebrate. I'm down for whenever, just let's pick a day/time early so everyone can make it.

Rob, I don't think I got any of your backfires coming back, I'll check the video again later tonight.

Very cool Mike! I can't wait to see it in person.

I should be available on Sunday for a drive or meet. I'll probably be in the local garage working on Saturday. If my car doesn't need anything done to it then I usually just go over to lend a hand to the other guys' projects.

wow.. that looks like alot of bondo... kick *** that you didnt total it though...




i took that this morning. theres a really rich issue, and it has a steady climb in idle that i need to do something about. once i get that fixed, i can get it running to operating temp so i can fill it full of coolant. im looking at a few more days depending on when i have to work this week.

If it had been up to the insurance company I am sure they would have totaled it. Luckily there was only minor frame damage to the front bumper.
