Since I am pretty much doing everything to my car i figure i would start one of these threads.



well first all i missed out on a lot of pictures on the engine swap and the day i bought it. i am going to document everything else i do to it there is some much more duct taping to do.
If you wanna see more "rednecking" fixes just monitor this thread, LOL

Center cap or no center cap ?

with center caps use chrome paint on ur lugs they will match it just use a hobby brush and brush it on then they wont scratch off the paint from the reinstall lol looks good on mine

Never mind on the center caps I lost 2 this morning on the way to work. Dumb hurricane weather.

I have lots of spare centre caps. Couple of bucks each and they're yours. Shipping may be an obstacle.
The 3 dimples in the caps have to be re-punched every once in awhile (don't 'go to town' on this or you'll poke a hole in them) in order to keep them tight. A large Philips screwdriver and smart smack with a hammer (not a BFH) works for me.
Obviously your old ones were too loose.

Maybe when the time comes I can interest you in Festy alloys cheap. My Aspire swaps don't use them. Again, shipping is likely a bugger.

[RhodeStiva]

[RhodeStiva]

^it would have looked better if i had new panel. i had to duct tape them together first. lol. but at least i have panels now .

[FestYboy]

color the handles, cranks and stuff with a contrasting color or basic black, make that vinyl pop.

[RhodeStiva]

Good idea. Thanks.
