Post Some Pix of my Baby...

Well.. I finally made a small web page with some pix of the '85 I purchased a few weeks back.
Here she is as she stands today.


Click below for some day of purchase pix, before & after new rims pix, and interior pix:

She's a beautiful creature!
Let me know what you think!

What sizes were your Fuchs? If they're 7's and 8's x 16, let me know if you want to sell them.

Lower that baby about 2" and you're there!

Nice ride (but I'm partial to black Targas).

MikeF: The FUCHS are indeed 7 and 8's x 16. I really don't know if I want to sell them though. 1) because I have no idea what they're worth, and 2) I think if I ever sell the car the original stock rims are worth more - especially since it's almost a classic.

Vex,

If they're 7's and 8's x 16...they're probably not the originals. Your car came with 6's and 7's...most likely 15" (not sure if 16's were an option in 85). This info comes from Bruce Andersons book.

Anyway, if you'd like to sell them, please e-mail me at mikncath@bellsouth.net so we can discuss it.

Thanks and congrats on finding a real beauty.

I don't know, but from looking at the originals, they look like the stock 6's and 7's. I am looking for a nice deal on 9's myself. I already have 7's and 9's, but need a spare set. Unfortunately, other bills always come right before the good deals.
