New body, new wheels (thanks reno911), all re-built - 10.20.2010, 07:24 PM

First off, this is pretty much a direct copy over from RCU thread, so don't bust my balls. I don't know how often people here visit there and vice verse....

I finally got it all up and running after the last session that left quite a few parts broken....
I saw a good deal on the wheels from reno911 he was very generous and worked the price down with me, so I couldn't resist.
The full offset is a little big....but I figure I got the tires cheaper than new, if I have to I'll take them off with Acetone and put them on some standard offset wheels, and still be ahead of buying the tires new. (barely)
I like the width, feels very planted.

The first many pictures are glamor shots....then action shots to follow Hope you like it.


Body paint turned out pretty good, I think the paint made the masking tape shrink a little bit after the first coat, and some of the tape wasn't on well to begin with, but I'm happy enough with it since I'm just going to bash it anyway.

Stocker wheels:








New Wheels :D
