Skib Posted March 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Got all the exterior door handles and locks in, and got some new rubber put into the door trim. aside from the bumpers I need to shave and coat, its pretty complete on the outside. 5 Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Now you just need some cool rims to complete the package. Amazing how much different the car looks! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 It needs those Z tiny dust caps. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted March 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Yeah lol the Shelby slot mags are fine for now, and the rubber is good. But it needs some 15x8s to clear more brakes and get some wider stickier rubber under there. Im pretty stoked with how things are going so far. Lots of little shit to do but I think all the big ticket jobs are pretty done. I put a little over 100 miles shaking it down around the house, took it to work yesterday for its first trip away from my area which was a 70 mile round trip. Did really good, tires need to be re balanced and the fuel sender started leaking a little bit after I got home. But its been pretty issue free so far... 3 Quote Link to comment
