Just delivered a few days ago. This is my first purchase conducted entirely through facebook. It is a changing world.

I will get some more photos taken soon.

That is a beautiful car and color. I wish mine was in that great of a condition. What number is it? I'm number 95. My visor is curled with no mirror also. looks like yours is. I was wondering did it leave the Asc that way. I have a manual transmission though. Our color gets so much attention... I love it.

Man, those 18s look great!! Do they rub on the fenders?

I had an 88 McLaren and I put 17s on it with the suggested size tires (can't remember) and it scrubbed on every bump. I can't imagine what those 18s would do!?

Actually they don't rub, even with me in it(230lbs). If I'm backing in my driveway at the right angle with the wheel at lock to the left, might scrub once but it hits the inner kmember(might be offset of rim). She came with stock wheels on her, so I kept the same aspect ratio as stock so I wouldn't have to raise car. She rides ruff this way, but looks great.
I'm using 96gt spindles in front with ranger axles in rear for 5lug conversation. Saleen style rim with 265/35/18 tires. I'm going to put IRS from 03-04 cobra on it when I get the money. I know the purist are screaming, but I'll probably die before I separate with car. May as well make it like I want it.

I'm thinking about putting an RS air dam and Saleen side skirts/ rear valance on mine, so I'm in your corner.

There is a really good video on YouTube about the IRS swap. I think the music over dramatizes it, but they did a good job of showing the installation issues.
