Damn that's a clean car! Looks great! F2 conversion looks awesome! I especially like the wheels! I agree, the design is timeless. Looks as good now as it did 20 years ago!

Yea, I really like the wheels as well. A very good design from that time period. Unfortunately, since they came from the UK, they are flaking pretty bad. Some day I'll invest the $450 into getting them refinished.

That's really not bad! 450 to have them resurfaced?!? I'd already had em done!! Way cheaper then new rims. PLUS, they are so rare! Not gonna find rims like that. It'll be a great investment!👍

Started driving this around again with diesel spiking in price (thanks Brandon). After driving the truck for so long, man I forgot how fun this was to drive! It's definitely not as fast as the truck, but in the corners, it's like a gokart. I did my first calculation and getting 25mpg. That's 98% highway trips going about 80mph. I bet if I kept my foot off it, it'd get 28mpg easy. But this sure as hell beats 13mpg plus a dollar more per gallon for diesel.

My only fear is the insane and careless drivers in my town. I'd be pretty heart broken and furious to no end if someone hit me. This isn't like a Camry. It can't be replaced!
