Prep for new wheels - with pics
So i decided to be productive today, so i picked up a DupliColor Caliper paint kit from autozone and tackled the fronts. Lots of scraping, a little mineral spirits, and two dremel wire wheels later heres what i got:
Before:
The old for-sale sign is a overspray protection for the rust coating i sprayed on the frame there.
After:
(The tie-rods just have rust preventative coating, i will proly make them gloss black when i get normal temp paint)

The tires are on order through firestone. Potenza G009'* 245/45/17. Apparently it takes them a week and a half to get them in so at the latest they'll be on by next wednesday.
I had no idea how many 92-99 members have the 02 chrome 5 spokes (the wheel i originally wanted) there were at least two and thats two more than i expected. How many of you all have the 6 spoke swoopies like my new ones? I know theres at least one other person with them.
