Default The lows, and whats to come.

My car has many imperfections, I am going to be adressing 1 of them this summer "the rims".
I have heavy curb damage on my left front rim and a small amout of curb rash on all the rest so i'm going to try to get new ones.
Modern pic of car taken an hour ago:

Scuffed rims: the bad one


And these are just about what the others look like:

Here are the rims i am thinking about getting:


Other imperfections in my car:

Look at rear door for dents:


Lots of scratches on my bumper:

My very f***ed up front bumper: "idk what happened to it previous owner of the car did it"

And heres a couple good pics: (decieving from far away)

The gto was outsideI couldn't resist:

Things i plan to get done this year if money permits:
New front/rear bumper, left fender + repaint (also get wing painted stock color)
Get the rimes and tires
chrome or smoked side markers, new taillights
3rd brake light.

Also i have a question about thses rims if i got tokico struts would they fir with 225/40zr/18 tires?

Funny you say that the gto hasn't been cleaned since october and it still shines far better than my 2 day old wash on the neon.

so whats up with the exhaust? is your left out bent? or is it just optical illusion of the angle of the pic?

like the pic that shows yer back bumber it seems as if the left one is shorter than the other?

In the gto right now is a 455 engine, trans and rear end stright out of a 67 catalina.
The original 389 tripower, tranny and rearend is currently in storage.
I will post pictures of the engine bay after its all detailed again, maybe next week.
