Default Fresh paint, shoes, wheel, and shifter

Just had to share!

Just got my baby back from paint. It's already got a coat of dust. I can't wash and wax for at least 20 days...

Installed the new wheels (2000 Carrera 4's, 7" and 9" x 17" ET 55) and tires. Still need to modify the bearing caps to fit the front wheel caps. Installed the 930 wheel and Ausi shifter from Shawn's car.

I just got a LSD too. Intend to install next weekend... WOOHOO!!!!!!

Special thanks go out to Doc Brown and Dr. Bob!

Shifter was made in Australia.. It's a press down to disengage park type. I love it. A few vendors sold them for awhile. Paul C covered them too. He may have some still. I believe the guy in Australia dropped off the radar.

No photos of the paint process. It was a nightmare getting them to do it right though... The first time out it was not right (massive orange peel). The second time through looks great... But now my radiator overflow nub is broken and leaking... Those bastards....

Picked them up on Craigslist for $475 with decent tread left on the tires...

Bought a new set of center caps for $30 on Ebay though...
