Nice work PJ!! I been away for quite some time but thinking about doing some TLC to my c43. Can I ask where you got your wheels refinished and for how much? I'm looking for some 18" Monoblocks and would be good to know how much a refinishing costs.

Thank you .
I got my wheels done at a localnplace called rim pros.
They charge 150 a wheel for averything including curb rash and fixing bends and thats probably average price at most places.
Heard from the painter, hes getting started on my bumper.
My euro lights came from europe but they cracked on the way here. Amber corners should arrive any day.
Swapped steering wheel and did a seat conversion. As some of you might know my black car was wrecked. Between the two cars and four front seats, the two best seats are the passanger seats so what I did was a conversion of a passanger seat from my black car to be a driver seat in my red car that way I am getting the two best front seats in my car.
This involved taking out the lower back airbag and drilling out the air control mount and riveting it in on the oposite side. Also the bottom assembly of the seat needed to be swapped(railis with motors on them). Visited my friend to borrow an air imoact gun which is needed to remove the steering wheel. Took a shot of his 5.4 swapped c43.
