no I wanted her to have it before she sees Archies bill for my current IMSA madness . But she is making me nervous, last night she kept looking at the HRE 505's and 454's, I told her " thats madness!! who would pay that much for rims" lol time for me to cover up my center caps.
Yep, if it was me these would be the ones I'd go with. A gold center, polish lip on a black Enterra.
The Enterra has arrived at Archie's from Washington State tonight. Let the restore/build thread begin , I'm sure Lisa will start a thread soon as she is very excited.

Troyboy, Hey congrats on having the wherewithal to be able to pay Archie for his skills again on another project. I am quite sure he will make that car amazing and beautiful again. These are interesting vehicles and their rarity will make a well done restoration worthwhile I am sure. I would love to see a powerful engine swapped into it to make it have the performance to match the looks. I personally think that car looks very nice in white with black accents tastefully placed. Do you plan to keep it that way or change the color? Would be nice to cruise to shows with the wife each in your own custom cool fiero based cars. Good luck with it and please post pics whenever possible. Peace
Pete

Looks kind of bulky, heavy and high off the ground design. Very different looking and not too aerodynamic but in V8 Archies shop some fine sculpting takes place. I'd bet that he will turn this car into a real show winner. ------------------ " THE BLACK PARALYZER" -87GT 3800SC Series III engine, custom ZZP /Frozen Boost Intercooler setup, 3.4" Pulley, Powerlog manifold, Northstar TB, LS1 MAF, 3" Flotech Afterburner Exhaust, Autolite 104's, MSD wires, Custom CAI, 4T65eHD w. custom axles, HP Tuners VCM Suite. "THE COLUSSUS" 87GT - ALL OUT 3.4L Turbocharged engine, Garrett Hybrid Turbo, MSD ign., modified TH125H " ON THE LOOSE WITHOUT THE JUICE "

She likes the black one from the Enterra sight so black it will be. But for the most part we will be keeping the body the way it is..... but thats what I always say . We will play with ride hight, and wheels to get the right stance

The automatic that comes with the LS4, I figure why reinvent the wheel . She will most likely start her build thread this weekend or should I say she will make me start her build thread.

it looks like it is now down to the little details for the JSWB. some fine sanding of the hood scoop and fitting some screens in the side vents...that kind of stuff. I'll get some pics up in a few days. i made two carbon fiber filler pieces that act as mount brackets for the hole in front of the door (where the sill panel and the front fender overlap. keep us posted on this build... thanks al
