I am starting on a new project. I just picked it up tonight. I am thinking of doing a "German Look." The car is super solid. The pans are all original, heater channels are perfect and it has a "new" paint job. It is a two owner car that was disassembled and repainted about 8 years ago and then put in a garage. It just needs some exterior seals, door panels and the engine needs to be resealed. It runs great but leaks like there is no tomorrow. It is going to become my new daily driver.

Looks solid! I second the German look, it's the only way to go with a later model :thumbs:

drop it, put 17's on the front, 18's on the back, some good suspension parts, and of course a big motor and you'll be set!

I still have the sand rail. I sold my Land Rover (it was about to put me in the poor house buying gas) so this is going to become my new commuter car. I am trying to find a set or Porsche turbo twist wheels. I think it would look good on a set of those. I am putting the rail on hold for a month while I get this car up and going.

Check out Porsche Cup wheels also,they go for around 500-700 a set.
