yeah im not a fan of the wheels either, i might be gettin a set of 15in "pursuities" off a 2009 swift, they fit on these apparently, im not gunna buy genuine simmons for this haha, way too expensive for a buzz box run about, but something that looks similer
Going where no late model stato/caprice has gone before.... GAME ON!!
yeah i was thinking 16in wires, gold spokes polished lip, but i like a nice 5 spoke for it more
Going where no late model stato/caprice has gone before.... GAME ON!!
Did someone say v6 conversion![]()
haha nah if anything id go rotor
Going where no late model stato/caprice has gone before.... GAME ON!!
lol, yeah it would be nice but for now its to get me to and from work as cheaply as possible, and so far its working, ive been driving it non stop since saturday and only used half a tank of fuel, dunno how many ltrs a gemmis tank is but looks pretty dam small
Going where no late model stato/caprice has gone before.... GAME ON!!

yeah man scored well, has a bit of rust under the windscreen rubbers and the drivers door, but other than that shes pretty straight
Going where no late model stato/caprice has gone before.... GAME ON!!
Any plans to source out some replacement interior parts to bring it back to original?

rotor gem! #### yeah. theres a few getting around making big numbers
the queen street gem runs an RB30 from memory thats pretty sweet, pretty heavy over the front end.(noooow it shows the pic of the engine XD)
ive been in a gem that runs a NA 4ZE1, goes ####in hard. if i had my choice id go the 4ZD1 with an E1 head and turbo.
