Show that when some of us would like to see the ZS setup on your car

Maybe I am biased since my 1990 looks like yours... with less paint... and peeling factory wheels... and near-stock equipment.

Peace,

I have a shot of your ride as my desktop at work, and every so often I hear something like "So and so needs... Hey, is that your car?" Then we both forget the request due to the usual "No, but close. I just need wheels, paint and another hundred plus horsepower." "Oh, really? How are you going to do that?" "Well,..." heh

Tks for the pic Tom, peace.

I bought a set 87/88 style Formula wheels for $50 and a set of later 88-92 Formula wheels for $100...

p.s. no they are NOT for sale. I only have rears left for the late style wheels tho. With 2 Formies, I need them just in case...

Screeminfomula,
There is a local guy here that has some referbed ones for $75 each. (The late style dished)
