My barter project With A/C

What are the wheels from ? I like these way better than what I have found.

Thanks everybody, Im gonna try to make this car look good with out tackiness, lol

Tires are- 175/60-13's Ordered from Ebay for $184 shipped.

Rims are 13x4.5 off a 1982 toyota corolla.
They came with the trim rings/caps.
The overall diameter is almost perfect match for the stock 12" rim/tires.

Going to buff/wax the paint, and paint the bumpers with the same paint as rims.
Also installing my escort seats today.

It looks good with the new wheels.

Looks awsome!

What brand/model are the tires. They look like a good fit!

I would recommend using the bumper restore instead of painting. Paint chips.

I ordered the tires from Ebay.

I ordered These- MEXX GRIP VTR304 tires -- 175/60/13

But got these- 175/60-13 FEDERAL Formoza FD1 77H BSW

I paid $161+$23 shipping

Not sure why I got different tires??? Confused me, but the ones I got
fit very good, and handle awesome.!

I went to fab some brackets for my escort seats, But had too many distractions to finish.
Will continue later tomorrow on it.

Wheels & tires look great. Are the wheels a direct bolt on, no mods.??

[gestiva]

Direct Swap^ Fits like a stock 12" festy rims

Finished my Driver's seat! My welds Suck, so we will see how long it holds up
Took the Stock festy mounts that bolt to the floor, and welded angle iron
on them, then welded the seats to them.
The seat sits inch lower and inch farther back than a stock seat.

Those look a LOT better than the crap that was in there! I personally wouldnt go with em but they are still better than the ripped up things it had before.

Motor time!!!!!!

Decided last night was going to be my "All nighter"
I sorted through my garage, and moved parts/odds and ends into my storage
building. Then moved Sedat's BP to a place in the back of my shop for prepping. Got 1 bay of my shop cleaned, Then I started prepairing the new engine for install.

Completly Degreased,scrubbed,wiped,etc all the dirt,oil,grime off the
motor.I noticed the head is SUPER clean compaired to a normal head on a 18 year old car. After removing the VC I was stunned at how clean the head isdrool!

Putting a few seals on it and finishing the paint and Im going to install it today! Finally will have it running right!:blob5:

Here are a few before paint but after I cleaned motor pix, Then the After shots along with the VC removed to show how clean it is...
Batteries Died Or I would have taken tons of pix!

[sedat]

Holy crap that is clean. I wasnt expecting that.

[gestiva]

^I Wasnt either! I hope The intake gasket and intake swap works!
Im done painting engine and will have the pix up later,
Heading to the shop to install the motor and hope it works!
