    Life is too short to drive a boring car!

    Showing a little age here and there but other than the wheels, tires and brakes all original. Not making any non-reversible changes to the vehicle as it's in overall great condition for the age. ~104k miles and has been pampered. The paint has been polished down to the metal in places!

    Wheels are American Racing VN215 18x8 5x5 bolt 0 offset Grey spokes with Kumho Crugen KL33 235/55-18 tires. Front brakes are Baer rotors with Wilwood D52 calipers. Both bolt on replacement. Fancied up the rear drums with some hi-temp paint and to my eye it's added a retro-modern look without being too donk-like or requiring any mods to the car. The original wheel covers are near perfect and adorn the garage wall.

    Gas-Adjust shocks front and rear improved the ride no end. Still smooth but much less roll and bounce in the turns.
