Just waxed it today and figured I would snap a few pictures of it since I haven't posted anything new up in a while.

Congratulations, Solarange. It looks marvelous. It must be singing this song:

"What good are words I say to you?
They can’t convey to you what’s in my heart
If you could hear instead
The things I’ve left unsaid

Time after time
I tell myself that i’m
So lucky to be loving you

So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through

I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You’ve kept my love so young, so new

And time after time
You’ll hear me say that i’m
So lucky to be loving you"

Your right the rims are old. They have been discontinued too. I won't be changing them as they can keep the look of the car from the decade its from. I don't really plan on changing or adding any new mods as I now will be using my extra money to buy parts for my Jeep. Just keeping the Solara in the current state its in and keep maintaining the condition its in now.

That's wassup. :D



...and I am at the age wherein all MY efforts are EXACTLY THAT! In the case of my '89 Supra, I'm running OZ Nova's that were found on the Lotus Esprit (of course, they were MUCH more "deep dish" on the Esprit!) that are very much "era" rims, and often cited as "dated" but I'm headed toward Work Equips anyway, and that's certainly going to date me as well as the car! But that's my intent.


I think Solorange's car is sharp "as is", having also seen it in person, and I expect mine will look pretty kick-ass with the Equip's when I get there! :wink:



Great job on the car... it's a point of great pride to drive them long and keep them strong. 8)
