you werent kidding about the c/f everywhere! good lord. could you paint over it?

cant wait for our photo shoot. your gc is already lookin great....now get some wheels (but take your time...i is figuring out some crap for my car....again with the cant find what i want that will fit properly the FOERST time issues). why is there still no mass gc parts love!?!

i know i know. if parts were as abundant and readily available like 240/sr20 parts the gc wouldnt be the awesome non typical car that it is. (matt broke it down for me)

when it comes to wheels: measure twice, order once, roll fenders.

I'm not sure if I want to paint over it because it will chip with daily usage.
I'm just going to be patient and look for a 98-01 that's getting parted and buy the pieces.

As far as the wheels, I'm probably going to get the current wheels that are in the shop getting stripped and have them powder-coated and put some tires on them. This will be temporary as I figure out what wheels I really want.

There won't be any more motor/intake/exhaust mods on this car as there is no point. Because it will be all coming out sometime next year anyways.

So I guess the last few things are going to be 4-pot brakes, wheels, and tint.

BTW.. once the S13 is back on the road.. it will probably be up for sale.

Looking for a 4dr awd 2.2L 5-spd GC8 sedan... the front axles can be destroyed or missing. I repeat.. there doesn't have to be any front axles.
