    Looks good, nice to see the wheels in use instead of being in my garage. They'll difentally look alot better powder coated, did you find another wheel yet.

    Re: My new rides...YAY

    update...yesterday. got the car towed to my parents house (4 car garage). tore everything down, got junk motor pulled along with transmission...swapped everything over to trevors old bottom end. put the head on timed trevors motor. forgot my clutch allignment tool, so will be taking that with me today to allign clutch. put tranny back on, put motor tranny back in, and should be running in a few hours or so today is my plan...no picutres cuz i was in the fucking zone yesterday. hopefully i can get a few snapped today for ya...also, i had to switch oil pans over cuz trevor had his engine set up for stainless line oil return and an fittings. i dont have this stuff so i had to switch to my oil pan to use the stock oil return for the turbo...found out if i didnt have a locked up oil pump and had to switch motors, id be switching motors very soon anyways...there were a ton of huge chunks of metal and tons of shavings in the pan. so im kinda glad just to get it done and over with now
