The car came from the factory with 16" ninja rims, but the guy I bought it from had those on his shadow and I couldn't afford to buy them from him. I have the 16" pumpers from my 89 shelby that I am going to put on this car as soon as I can buy rubber for them. So I have to live with these 15" shadow steelies and hubcaps. I was looking at the owners manual of this car and stamped on the back was Chrysler's stamp that said it was owned by them and was used in thier fleet. I think that is pretty cool. One of these days I'll have to get a carfax report done.
I have been working on my new car. On my way home from picking up the car in Ohio, the timing belt jumped and stripped out. It died while cruising 75 up I90 north of chicago, about 2.5 hrs from home. Luckly my uncle has a place about 20 minutes from where it died. It cost me 100 bucks to get it towed to my uncle's place. There it sat for three weeks before me and my brother-in-law hauled it home. I replaced the timing belt and it started right up. The car has alot of noise in the front end. I figured out where most of the noise was coming from, the passenger side ball joint was in real bad shape. 40 bucks later and alot of cusing, it was replaced and most of the noise was gone. It still needs work in the front, the drivers side strut is worn out and it still makes noises in the front end. I hope to get back to putting my rear end in my project car soon.
