First time out of the garage in 7 years.

Finally got the 86 together enough to move it outside under its own power for a quick bath. 7 years its been sitting and this is year 3 under the knife. Still a lot to do and yes, the wheels don't fit anymore.

Looking sharp. Very satisfying to get all that junk off, I just did a similar detail this spring.

Those rear wheels are nice!! Every time I search 18 inch wheels your 86 comes up with the other yellow one that used to have those front wheels. I think it's a pic from 2012!!
