Finally coming together

Finally, new bumber cover and taillight covers (thanks again eric!). Tires are off in prep for the asc rims and tires (225 60's

, couldn't afford the 225 50's right now). The rear hatch panels are installed for the first time in several years, new insulation between them and the metal on the car, rear seats go in tommorow, along with the carpet and dew wipes. I hope to have the car on the road for a shake down by the end of the week. More pics to post as the rims come in. Anyone have a diagram or something on how the rear seats are installed? They weren't in when I got the car so I don't have a frame of reference. If not I'll go the the JY tommorow and take a look at the hatch they have there to figure it out.

Looking good.

I got Dunlop 225 55s from the Tire Rack, if I remember, they weren't much more than others.

hmm, didn't try there, I used the BX on base, cheaper tires, no tax. A few years ago I used to pay 50 bucks for 225 60 15s for my galaxie and mustang, now because cars mostly have 16 and 17 inch rims they are getting more expensive, ah well, such is the times I guess. Thanks plumkrazy, my next goal is to get the body kit painted and mounted, the car wet sanded and buffed and put the black stripes on. That will have to wait till I get back from deployment though.

Now we just got to get you to paint your trim the right color.

It looks too black to me.
