When I originally had them done up, it was an Epic Saga kind of thing... Some of this is from memory, so bear with me.

Got the original set in (used), for something like $1k. (2) of the (5) wheels were center-bent, one of the (5) was a 7" wheel instead of an 8". So, I had (3) good ones. I was able to procure a 4th individual wheel, which helped. I brought them to be straightened & finished at RimPro in Tewksbury MA. They did a good job of straightening, crap job of coating - they went as deep as the spokes, no deeper on the inside barrel! Straightened, then coating x1. I then had to bring them to another place to have them re-coated. Cost of the coating was around $400 from memory. Spent about $600 on the Falkens, so I had over $2k into the wheels & tires. They went with the track car's goodies when I sold it in '04.

While they're obviously not worth that to someone picking them up used, when they came back onto my radar screen, I desperately needed new rubber for the SHO, so...

Mel pretty much summed it up Jay...every time i see him its always "prob next week"...enough is enough,im going to call an old family friend, which is who i should have called to begin with, but this first guy works right next door to my job,you know convenience,but my normal guy is more reliable but isnt exactly in the nicest neighborhood....don't worry it will make it on there...

Thanks, appreciated! How's the Green Monster?

Everything's for sale at the right price... not counting labor, I have $9k in the car including the purchase price, from last August. On the other hand, now pretty much everything mechanical has been replaced (engine, clutch, suspension, interior, exhaust, radio, etc.).

Yeah, I kind of figured your soul had a higher price than that. :evilgrin:

Green monster's excellent Fred - recently put a system in her, headunit up top, moved the EATC down, added a coin/cup holder beneath that, threw in some A-pillar tweeters, and added some Speedhut gauges. Now that my audio controls (Volume, Seek, Mem) up near the clock no longer work I'm looking to fit a gauge in there, possibly Volts.

Besides that, nothing new - other than replacing that driver-side halfshaft (ABS ring), and installing a new e-Brake cable (remember your blue caliper is on my car?). She's running like a champ! Let me know if you run in to any extra 3.2's... :thumb:
