    Finally after screwing around (and sometimes actually wrenching) for 'bout a year.... It Runs! and Drives! :drive:

    Thanks a ton for all the excellent advice! Can't wait to work out the remaining kinks.

    Congrats! Do you have any more pictures of your car/wheels? They look like 94-98 Cobra wheels? Are they?

    Yes they are Cobra wheels. I think the guy I bought them from said they were from a '96. The tires are 225/45's right now, but I'm likely going to a 225/60 soon. I don't have any other pictures that are any better then this one yet. The weather still sucks in Michigan.

    Cool. Are you running spacers or anything to get them to fit?

    Congrats on getting the car to finally run. I bet that was an exciting moment.. Did you do a dance when it finally started up for you? :dance:

    I knew i would have.

    Yes 1" spacers mounted to ARP studs.

    Until it ran and I drove it, it didn't seem like I had a car, just a project.
