Reproduction rims have their short comings, none that I think you will find with a Firefly though.

I'm all for restorations of cars like this. I just picked up a similar vintage vehicle and plan on doing nothing but minor mods as I restore and maintain it. 'Resto-mod' is what I've seen it called.

Just don't put another super trap muffler on it.

It's got a brand new stock muffler on it, seller was keen to point that out. Evidently he had quite a time finding it.

You had a problem with the Magnum's SuperTrapp?

Update on this car, it's asleep for the winter right now, but I got it running without any smoke now. Sent the turbo out for a rebuild and put a new radiator in it. It runs quite well, but clanks badly on bumps. When the weather warms back up I'll get it in the air and do the suspension and brakes.

I can't wait to see this baby at GP2016! Did you start a project thread on it yet?

Don't get too excited, it looks pretty ratty up close. I need a holographic projection field around it to project the pictures up above at all times. Either those pictures were taken by someone who's an expert at "MySpace Photo Angles" or the previous owner just bounced stuff off the car for three years before I got it.

A project thread sounds like a project to me. B-)
