get some pics today
May I ask where you bought your wheels?

I like the look of the 11s in back just slightly stronger. That cloth top is only a few days old. Getting her ready for cruising season hopefully.

Just ordered the cap emblem.

Moved her outside so I can replace my sisters brakes. I hope she doesn't get dirty.

That was just the see how good it works model. Have to use metal hose barb fittings as the pvc will get soft from the heat. All replaced with all brass fittings and will work for a while until I put my sport seats in and will change the heater core while everything is out. I can drive it now. Took it to work yesterday.

They're ARE alright but I'm not sure what model. You're right about tires.

I like the look of her with just the driver's seat!

Reminds me of a classic British racing car, like the D-type.

Replaced the Frame Springs and Rear Window retainers on the Convertible Top on my '94.

Also had the third bow straightened out. The top is in great shape...but I think I need to replace the headliner...can't get the sail panel flaps to stay in place.

Anyone else paint their rotors? I replaced the sawblade wheels with C6 ones which exposed a big rusty rotor.

I have painted the rotor hats before with silver. Looks nice. No paint on the rotor surface though.
