Well ive got spring fever and changed a few items recently. I put on the repros black zr1 wheels (stock sizes), lowered on stock bolts, painted the calipers, and changed the oil and diff. within the last week. Also, have interior parts coming later this week. It was just nice to get back on the road, even if it was only to the gas station. What do you guys think? FYI, I had stock polished thin spokes at stock height before this.









I will get better pics up when it gets warmer and I have the interior in place.

You guys catch everything! Actually, I refer to that as a temporary cheap alternative until I can afford the entire exhaust. Can't stand the stock exhaust.

No bone, but I see I have alot of work ahead of me thanks to them. Also, I'll probably get the windows tinted for my b'day. That will pretty much do me in for the year. Like anything else it takes time as well as money. Thanks guys!
