My least favorite is that Mustard color. How about Indigo Blue. Maybe with white or silver stripes? Just an idea. I'm enjoying your build(s)

Today I'm still have installed new brakes and pads around, then the wheels could be mounted. I love it
7.5x16 back space25mm with 205/50- 16
9.0x16 backspace 20 with 245/45-16
It looks good but I still need 30mm spacer. (rear)
The front axle must still 20mm lower.

Next week, more filling and sanding.

HI Chris,
the gold looks very old school,
Not bad, and in the doors, it would be easy to paint.
But I'm not still not sure

Where did you get the 40mm extensions?
