well here is an update… got all the paint stripped off the car and a coat of primer on her…ready to start the body work… and picked up a set of 20s from a buddie to see what my backspacing will be like… and to my surprise i find that the rear hubs are ford bolt pattern 5x114 and the front is chevy 5x120 lol who does that…so anyway either going to get a set of addapters to fit the 5x114 wheels on the front or swap out the front hubs not sure yet… its funny 20s on this car look kinda small…need spacers on the rear due to some rubbing issues on the wheel tubs… enjoy ![http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u239/Copper240sx/007.jpg](http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u239/Copper240sx/007.jpg) ![http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u239/Copper240sx/006.jpg](http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u239/Copper240sx/006.jpg) ---

already looking much better with the old paint off. try to keep it clean though, no 2tone or anything weird like that (like the cavalier). ---
