Not bad for a beater. I have posted it on some of the other boards. Just thought some of you might enjoy seeing another one on the road.
 
Beater, shoot. Looks marvalous.
 
Nice. I like it.
 
Thanks, the paint is not as nice as it looks in the pics. I call it a beater because the purchase price was $400. Of course it didn't look like that then.
 
Paint looks a whole lot better than what I am currently running and those Spridgets look a whole lot more aggressive sans bumpers. Nice.
 
NICE!!! Are those "cosmic" wheels? Whatever they are I really like them with the dark paint.

Yes they are 13x5.5 Cosmics that my dad and I found at a wheel salvage yard. I am running 175/50/13 Sumitumo tires.

Ok, tell me the secret. T'is a square rear arched spridget. How do you keep it from rubbing on the outside and inside with 50s on it?
 
Re: Thought some of you might like to see my Sprit

Its the offset of the wheels, as I have plenty of room to spare. The 175/ 50/13 is in reality a pretty small tire.
 
Re: Thought some of you might like to see my Sprit

very nice! you've done a great job!
 
Re: Thought some of you might like to see my Sprit

.....wow. I literally said that outloud when I saw the wheels/no bumper/black paint combination. She's a beaut!

Nice looking. I really like the look of the square cars with no bumpers front or back. Very clean, and much more sporting.
 
Re: Thought some of you might like to see my Sprit

Hey there,

Nice looking car. I agree about the no bumpers...I like it too! In fact, I'm doing a no bumper 68 myself right now. Yours should be twice as good as mine since you paid double what I did..haha :smile: How is the interior? Mine was beat to heck...

Re: Thought some of you might like to see my Sprit

I love the no-bumpers look, can't seem to commit because:
a. Need front license plate in IL.
b. Would have to cut those 2 large spikes off for the front.
c. I'm not very good at patching holes.
d. What would protect me in a rear end collision with an SUV? /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rolleyes.gif
 
Re: Thought some of you might like to see my Sprit

I'll post some interior pics soon, my dash was bad and the seats were missing.
 
Re: Thought some of you might like to see my Sprit

Love the car! Does anyone know where to get a rear license plate mount like that one or similar to?
