Interior looks awesome. I’d rather this didn’t have any comforts. I enjoy them on a daily but for a driver’s car I love when it makes your ears hurt and your ass sweat. ---

I tend to think more along these lines, although I don’t even have a ‘weekend’ car, rather a loaded daily. haha ---

I’ll have some spare cash soon from selling the Alfa, I want to go all in on my 240z but no creature comforts kill it. Think I’ll get an e36 m3 and put a turbo kit on instead, and restore the Z slowly. Not motivated to build another e30. Figure an e36m3 would get driven a heck of a lot more than a 240z. ---

Interior is totally done with roll bar and passenger seat. Waiting on my wheels but at least I can drive it [![http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o163/steve2k1116/424880BC-9FC6-4EDA-BCEA-8A5A0B6A7A89_zpsfz5sdsvz.jpg](http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o163/steve2k1116/424880BC-9FC6-4EDA-BCEA-8A5A0B6A7A89_zpsfz5sdsvz.jpg)](http://s120.photobucket.com/user/steve2k1116/media/424880BC-9FC6-4EDA-BCEA-8A5A0B6A7A89_zpsfz5sdsvz.jpg.html) ---

So the wheels came in. Had a couple of issues but they seem to be ironed out. Final specs are 18x9 235 front and 18x11 285 rear. Have to dial in the height and camber a bit then she’s off for an alignment.

I’m sorry but I don’t like the rims. Dream car otherwise. Maybe it’s the red center cap that is throwing me off. Hard to tell. ---

I think the thing with really clean black wheels on a really clean black car is that the tires, which normally look black, look light/dirty and gross all the time. No amount of tire shine fixes that. ---

No amount of tire shine fixes that. Well there’s currently none on them hah. There will be amongst a few other things to clean her up. It was just a quick test fit. I’ve done silver/polish on every car ever and I wanted to try something different with the murdered out look. I’m confident it’ll look awesome when done, but either way I love the look. ---
