A new look for the new year... Finally changing things up a bit, but nothing too drastic

New wheels & tires, swapped the shocks, & dropped her just a little bit more using some new hardware. I'm happy with how she's turned out so far. Thinking of adding a new splitter to finish up the appearance work then it's off to figure out what to do performance wise. Should be fun as well. Thanks again for all the help in working through the issue, breathing some new life into the old Z

Mahalo!

Mark
