    Ok....... ugh.... update time
    1: red 83 RS got sidelined due to it being rougher than originally thought.
    2: BBS faces and lips got sold...
    3: A HUGE WIN/WIN was located and price negotiated. Replacement 83 RS is staged.

    Comes complete with 5 lug conversion and a body that is saving well over a weeks worth of labor to get the red RS to match. STRAIGHT body, minor repair work needed but still A WIN.
    Stay tuned.

    Joe,
    The wheels in the picture are not staying. I was wanting a wheel that looked good, had the color I wanted (or close) and showed the brakes.

    Cool.

    Bronze is the closest there was for the sonic blue and sand beige combo. If gold would have been available, that would have been picked.

    I actually like the Bronze with certain colors, but not much of a chrome wheel kinda of guy when they are on a Fox. Your mileage may vary.

    This is one I like a bit too, but just not 100% sure. Has the BBS look a bit, but unfortunately still not as COOL!

    I got rid of the BBS because my brakes would not be seen (refer to my avatar). GOTS to show off beauty.

    Tons of work went into getting the front end 100% true. Had a bit of a"repair" job in the past. Much better. 4 coats of black lacquer and 4 coats of clear. Body should get some color in the near future. Sonic Blue Pearl over black primer. See next pic for reference.
