Great works have been done to the car!

good question. I thought you where going back OEM ? BTW where the hell did you get all those diffrent items.

your trunk hood doors all diffrent colors?

[DJexor]

The plan was indeed to go a bit back to OEM, but I also wanted to keep the wide look. I decided to keep the wide arches at the back and to roll the front fenders so they would have the same style. I did want to cut the rearfenders so that an original rear bumper would fit back on its place. Also this plan changed after talking with the guys who are restoring the car. According to them its best to leave the fenders till the bottom, because the fenders are to wide to make it nice and flushed. I agreed and so its gonne be like this. The guys worked indeed on the lip of the arches banpei. The guy who did the arches here in Holland didnt do a nice job. It was not round and there were a lot of bumps in it.
Plan now is to arrange some 15 x 9" offset -27 or 15 x 9,5" offset -21 SSRs for the rear. The current rear wheels are going to the front. I can assure you that those rear arches will look more full then. Now I see to much space. ;-)

To robokill:
I was driving for a long time with a car that needed to get an overhaul, so meanwhile i collected all the parts here and there. Doors I bought from Kees i think. A guy living between Den Haag en Amsterdam and the hood i bought from Roger (BE). Its been really a long time ago that i collected those parts so dont ask me when it was

hmm... I hope they will finish it well on the rear arch. I am still not get use to that rear arch till to the bottom

But I cannot wait till it finish

About the front rim will go, how about replace the dori center for my front side?

If I can find a wider set to replace the fronts, then im stuck with a set of 4 SSR's, so I think I will sell them as a complete set.
It is probably gonna be 15x8" -14 and 15x8" -2.

Here some new pics:
