@Patcon Haha no they're fine, I love those rims. Its the slippery slope that leads to blowing tons of money on the car. 

Most us have experienced that already and I more than once. The day you decide to repair rust is when it really get ugly. Enjoy that car and the process.

Alright here she is on a new pair of shoes! 

It was actually a somewhat nice day out so I took advantage of the opportunity and jacked it up and got the new wheels on.

Is that a stock colour? Looks like silver with a bit of tan mixed, looks great.

@grannyknot It does have a bit of tan mixed into it. Like an off silver. Definately not factory color, I believe it was originally silver and was resprayed a close enough color. 

I don't want to seem like "that guy" but I think your rear bumper guards are upside down.   :)

Bumpers guards… not needed.. i throw them away , much more cleaner car..  It was a tipical USA part.. europe and Japan don't have those (stupid (sorry)  things that only make the car ugly and heavier.. just my opinion!

Feel free to throw those bumper guards my way - I'll even pay for shipping.  :-)

Hahaha, the bumper guard brigade.? I'll get around to getting those ugly guards soon, still starting with the interior and making my way out.

Related, I'm looking for new carpets and jute (old ones were pretty frayed on edges and ragged). Has anyone had any success from the ones at Z Car Depot or recommend somewhere else?
