    Just a little wheel refurb project

    So I just finished replacing the steering rack and struts and springs on all four corners. I thought to myself that the old girl deserved a little facelift as well. So ten bucks and about an hour later and she has one new shoe. I'll have to decide how I like it for a few days and I'll do the rest if i decide I like this look. I might just go with a coat of metallic silver, but that might be too plain.


    Original color.

    Almost done, the raised parts are metallic silver, not white (the flash in the third pic makes them look white).

    Finished product.


    Let me know what you guys think, please.

    That really makes those wheels look good.

    I'll bet she handles and steers a whole lot better now with a new rack and new dampers at all 4 corners, too.
