Was a little bored today so I decided to paint something. Took the air filter breather off and worked on that. It wasn't my best work, but it came out better than before so I'll leave it at that. Kind of bittersweet and depressing sitting by the car and not being able to drive it. My friend and I may start working on it a little next weekend. Now with school and baja, time is becoming harder to find. As always, here are the pictures. All the pictures were taken with a fresh coat of paint. I touched them up a little afterwards.
I'm thinking about taking the calipers off and rebuilding them on my own time since the firewall and MC are going to take my friend and I a while before getting finished. I'd also like to paint the calipers black as well as the hubs when I get the studs off just in case I want to go with bigger wheels later on this year (after a suspension rebuild). I'm thinking about these if they will fit due to limited bs options.
Cheap, local, and the right bolt pattern. I figure I could get new wheels and tires for under $1k. I'd like a 275/35/18 series tire all the way around but with the bs offered, I don't think it's going to happen. I may end up going with a 17" (idk whether 7" or 8" wide) wheels with a 245(or 255 if it fits)/45/17 tire. That way the brakes don't look super small and I have less rotating mass.
