Alex

it has very liitle rust!

the floors & battery area are spotless...
there is some rust near the right rear quater vent & also
some minor rust on the front right quarter near the hinges

The body is really strait with only a few minors dings. It is an excellent starting point for a GL project.

A few body dings!! You don't want that! Maybe I can take it off your hands for you. Maybe $100? Because of the dings of course. Seriously though. That's a nice score. Lots of luck and keep us posted on the mods.

Nice score! Damn, they look goofy without a lowered front end Or maybe I'm used to my 2.5" drop?

Nice one nonetheless! Good luck with it.

Cool wheels. Personally, the center universal lug design bugs me, but I like them nonetheless.

As proven by our very own Brian, 40mm offset will fit perfectly. Topline may be able to drill the 5x100 (or4x100,4x114), but ask first. I ordered 5x130 disks from them and they do them in batches, so you may have to be custom ordered. However, Topline can press in the studs, which I opted for. Call 'em and find out.

I can say that the CSP drums I got are awesome, and Brian says their 4x100's are awesome too.

Any idea if your going to repaint? Body mods?

those are a cool look. i looked at similar ones (actually, i looked at rims for about 6 months intensely before going porsche) called Montegi in gunmetal. i just saw too many warnings about quality. one of the reasons i went porsche...i knew the quality was there. just make sure to spend for the quality. OZ had some i almost jumped on too. you are definitely looking at the patterns with more options than the porsche. 4x100 is probably the largest selection.

so tell us more of what you are thinking for the rest of the car.
