Plans Im not sure, I have 2 but cant decide on which to do. Plan #1: painted like it is 2 tone, Baby Blue and Offwhite thought bout running a 2" narrowed adjustable beam with the current rims, with 145/65's up front and 195/60 in rear and lower front an rear 3 inches. Interior for it is black stock style from TMI. Plan #2: Same color, but use stock chromies and paint the insides satin black leaving the lip chrome using 195/50's up front and 195/60's in rear, and adjustable beam to lower it. Looking something like this:  Also I would use wider fenders but on 4.5" wide rims, no thanks lol.

LOL ... Yeah, complete with holes drilled out of bumper brackets and the like to save weight -- kind of a Swiss cheese Look. Actually, it was a sweet looking car that stood out in my memory. I'll try to remember to look for it. If I find it, I will scan it for you.

The parts I need to get in road worthy are the door rubber kits, undercoating which I'll be getting next week, and 2 bumpers, I was gooing to run T-bars but I keep racking my chin on them...  it dont feel very good.Then once my floors undercoated, I'll have my dads mechanic put redo my motor wiring since the PO of the motor clipped the wiring off, an put my clutch an acelerator cables in.Then my interior will go in. The car itself will be stock for a little while.Then as time goes, I'll buy a narrowed adj. beam for front an lower the front however low a 4" will let me.I'll buy chrome stockers like I said above, painting inside satin black, then lower the rear even with the front.Motor wise..Im not even gonna get into that yet, but it will be a 1641cc that revs to 7k with all the internals forged.

Guys I got my bumpers Wednesday so they'll be going on after the motor is in.
EvilAngel,Oasis an anybody else, I was thinking, how would my bug look if I kept the wheels that are on it and then lowered it low enough to close the wheel gaps.Like say 3" front an rear, think my tires would eat my fenders on the bumps , mostly the speed bumps at my job but I can avoid those  I guess then it would look like and auto crosser but w/o the wide rims lol
