Thanks for the kind words guys, it's encouraging!

Oh but you can, all it takes is a little coin

She finally picked out some wheels. I'm not crazy about them but I don't despise them either - I'm thinking either 16's or 17's would do nicely.

I'm not crazy about those wheels either. I'd go with 16s.

She ended up with something of the same basic design but a little different. They are 15's, I truly think this wheel in a 17" would have been perfect on this car.

Yeah that'd be nice if they were a little bigger, but I'm sure they'll be great

Those wheels are awesome! They look funky in 17 inch form. Be glad you got the 15s. If you want some good tires for them look at some Yokohama YK520 from Discount Tire. I just switched to them and really like the so far, they are far better than the Radial TAs I had before. I know a few people that have them on other cars and have had great results.

I'll make my mind up once their on the car I love Yoko tires, what size would be recommended for the 15x7"?

Last Friday I drove the car to work. Went to start it at lunch and the ignition switch went out. I crawled up under the car to see if the starter had just stuck and one of the bolts holding the starter to the block had evidently stripped from the block and was just barely hanging on. I'd be shocked if the next start wouldn't have ripped all the teeth off the flexplate. All is almost well but I had to order the switch - at least it is a rainy week.

My biggest missing part now is I'm missing the entire quarter window assembly's and regulators, anyone have any good links or yards that may have a pair?
