lol well said! I guess in my mind cheap wheels are like 150ish a wheel...don't care about brand or finish as I'll just powdercoat them white...also weight is not a huge factor since my car will already be so light to begin with...lighter is better of course but not a must in his case since I will mostly be driving on the street not the track for a while anyways

the Spitz might be my favorite tool to use ever.........zap the pin on and pull the dent out grind off pin and move to next layer of dent.....they must of left the holes to keep the filler from falling off......but if that is all you have found so far that is not too bad for the age of the car.....

What nick forgot to mention and show in this thread is my amazing **** helping him put those seats into the car to see if they fit! Bahaha. And you better not get any over spray on my shoes on that rack biznitch! Lot's of work going in this weekend on multiple vehicles everyone, I'm sure there will be some pics up this weekend or by next week. And since I know little to none about cars... I'll hopefully be helping, by messing things up and making them go slowly haha!
