        Double checked with Dan and it was 15x8" rims he was looking at, nothing has been ordered yet. But we did measure it up and there is 4.5" from hub to fender flare lip.

        Yeah the rust blows too, but its pretty much gone now, still surface rust on the subframe ect.

            Well actually, lol....we bought it off Ebay from South Dakota.

            I drove it for a week during the winter when we first got it into Canada and its pretty much sat ever since.

                    Yeah holy, I keep forgetting to check this forum.

                    Not a whole lot has changed, we're just about finished all the welding and it will go for bodywork this week.

                                Nice, that body looks like the '96 Escort I'm trying to get back together. I look forward to seeing the GTX's body all finished up.
