    I was going to suggest that wheel but I don't think he'd be able to find them in 5x110.

    Bahhhh you live in the state of salt NY. Likely she'll rust up and leave the aluminum wheels behind.

    Yeah, so I was putting on the winter wheels this weekend...and I have one spot by the rear subframe about 2 x 2 inches starting to form, I scraped it down and POR15'd it.

    In the spring I plan to Dinitrol rust conversion and protect the whole underside of the car, same with the truck. I was kind of sad. The other spots that are bad are the dog legs...and under the side skirts. I plan to patch those up the best I can.

    Funny observation, every piece of steel in this car, is double or even triple layered, no wonder why these cars didn't need roll cages and could land on their roofs and not buckle. So the rust does have a few layers of steel to burn through, in the mean time I'll try to slow it done.

    With that said, it kind of put a perspective on things. I really don't need new wheels, kind of tired of being a wheel whore and paying around $100 every time I swap out wheels every 6 months for the last 5 years (panda included). So I plan to let these tires burn out (going to be a while) and then I will pick up another set of these same wheels (maybe I'll get lucky and get closeout prices eventually).

    So what is left?

    Fixings:
    -Replace drivers seat bracket with pre-01 seat bracket (long story, common issue)
    -Replace fuel injectors (o-rings are going)
    -Replace alternator (preventative maintenance)
    -Try and figure out how to make the damn rain sensor for the wipers work right (don't ask)
    -Fix Driver's window rubber thing
    -Repair and fix the doglegs with some rattle cans and stuff
    -Replace boost controller (I think, it is failing ever so slowly)
    -Replace passenger window that I gouged to hell when the window rollers broke and I dropped the glass into the door...yup I did that

    Upgrades/Fun stuff:
    -Canned the Bigger Brake kit (I gave it away, I pieced all together and just gave it away) so I want to put on some decent slotted rotors and good pads
    -Clean up the engine bay (new hood insulation, some more silicon piping)
    -Paint the brake calipers
    -Aluminum pedals and dead pedal
    -Leatherrique leather restoration to help protect the seats and restore them
    -Paint the trim pieces on the outside back to blackness
    -Retrofit the headlights with some Lexus RX350 projectors
    -Custom embroidered headrests
    -Sound deaden and CCF the entire inside of the car


    So with that probably being done by Spring time, I plan to start hunting for the new project in the near future. I'm hunting for a Saab 900 SPG in black.

    Make sure you top coat the POR15. It'll save a lot of headache down the road.
