exactly, to be this flush tires need to be stretched also even if the offset wasnt this agressive.

It is a damn clean car. It's a shame I'm no longer a NELOC member. Would love to see it in person.

The car looks good. I would also like to see it in person. I like the color combo and wheel offset, but not feeling the two tone leather. No offense. JMO. Overall very nice!

Thanks main reason for 2 tone is the brown dosent get as dirty as light tan...switching to black isnt an option for me and i'm a mechanic so i'm not the cleanest when i go home.

Really really clean car man! Makes me happy to see a 92-94 year bumpers looking really good. I've been contemplating whether or not to do the 97 conversion but I really like how yours turned out.

have you got a clear coat on your leather? cos that will prevent permanent damage / staining


failing that. you can just do what i do every time i drive my leather retrimmed soarer...

...take off your clothes and drive around naked!

i clean it regularly...so no permanent damage, leather has been in the car for over 2 years and about 30k miles.

Even though your tip about taking off clothes sound like good time...i think i'll pass
