Glad to have a 'Zuk back in the family!!!

My wife bought this for me from a local. It is not running yet, but will be soon. She bought it because I've been wanting one to build as an STS Solo car to chase down the Civics, even though 2 people have told me it has been done and doesn't work. . . we'll see.

Picked up my Hawk's weds night for my current DD/racer (Hyundai Elantra). . . plans may change a little it. They offered to cornerweight the car and order a set of "prototype" springs for the car for ~$200. THat's almost less than buying off the shelf H&R's for me from work. SWEET! I love this club (SCCA).

Last night, after making backups for the wife's CD collection for school I worked a little on the super faded paint on the swiffer. Tell me what you think. . . it's just a coat of turtle wax.

OK, before :




Lotta work under hood to do though. . .

ANd after an hours worth of work:





Sorry for the darkness of the photos.. . the truck is still in the garage and I didn't feel like putting pants on to pull it out.

It looks like most of the car still has decent paint underneath all the crap. The hood. . .not so much. It's got enough chips, dings and everything else there's not much hope for it.

I'm still torn, do I put money into it to look good or leave it as is? I hate rolling around in a shitball of a car, but I don't want to sink a ton of unneeded money into this project either.

Here's last sunday's work:

The ones that came with it are 14x6 PCW's. I'll most likely use my Konigs which are 16's with the 205/40 RT-615 tire. I could hook you up with a great price on it's old tires!

How much for the do you want for the wheels and tires? Where are you located?

[bobms01gv]

Unfortunately, if I sell them now, I have no way to move it around. . . so fall is thesoonest I'll be selling them. Tires are junk, two showing cords, one won't hold air for more than 4 days and they are all dry rotted. Wheels look decent though.

[Zooke581]

Still interested. Let me know.

[lancekilgore]

so do the 14 oor 16's rub when you turn them? any problems?

Right now the 16's rub the tire, but a 225/45 tire on this little car is a wee bit large. . .ok, quite a bit large. The wheels/tires (16"S) are off my Current auto-x'er a 2002 Hyundai Elantra. It, being 2800lbs sans driver, needs a tire that large.

The 14's don't rub. they are what came with the car and will be sold as soon as the season is over for me.
