Thanks Dave. I was thinking the same thing, but, the previous owner rubbed the curbs too much. The stainless is rashed too much to repair, I think. |

Troy don't be sure about that, the hot rod shop that i dealt with with my cracked rim can fix just about anything when it comes to rims, including massively gashed rims. Might be worth checking out if you're even in edmonton. |

I was thinking that stainless would be hard to repair. I do know that aluminum is easy for a pro to fix. I'm in Calgary and don't know of anyone who repairs this stuff. |

Yeah, i know they can be difficult to fix but the shop that i'm talking about has spent the money and gotten setup to take care of just about everything. The shop is up in edmonton though so i don't know what can be done. |

Scott, what is the name of the shop? Maybe I could take some pics and see what they can do. I've got another set of the originals I could put on while they fix mine. Edmonton isn't that far away. |

Egberts. It may be Egberts Hot Rod shop or something like that. I'll check the Yellowpages.

Good stuff Troy, just as an indication of the work they did on my rim, I had a three inch long dent in the rim with a 2 inch crack straight through the bead. As well we found that the hub had been knocked crooked within the spokes of the rim. I dropped the rim off after hours on a monday evening and i got a phone call telling me that the rim was done by lunch on tuesday. I paid a whopping total of a measly $113 tax in for the entire repair. After throwing the rubber back on the wheel balanced to perfect with only an additional 0.5 grams on the rim. |

Projectors are pretty decent but you have to do a lot of fiddling to make sure the beam of light doesn't hit the halo. |

Have just fitted suspension, time to put up a new picture. Camera was a blackberry, I'd say it didn't do half bad ;)
The rims are PIAA, 19x8.5 & 9.5 in +42. Headlights are stock with clear lenses and a shot of nightshades.
Big thanks go out to Scott Ferguson, who assisted with the suspension install. Took about 5 hours. |

Yes, I own a set of Tein super streets. They are decent coils, the ride is nice and and dampening adjustment is very noticeable and effective.
My chief problem with them is that the height adjustment can only be made while adjusting the pre-load of the spring at the same time. Not a huge deal, but they are not the best out there.
On the good side, they were easy to install and also allowed me to use my factory dust-boot around the inner strut, so I shouldn't have to worry much about dust or anything getting in there. |

No not really. It's I figured the snow would be better than a car cover for the paint |
