So it's been a while. I've just been driving the car as much as I can, smashing holes in the ratty old exhaust and doing little maintenance bits and pieces. I've slowly been chipping away at a set of wheels, they should be done in the next month or two. Here's a couple photos of the fronts.

Old wheels are 100% betterer.

I agree. The original wheels are perfect, but these are a great 'spare set'! ;)

Not what I was expecting, But "She"'s still very Classy, Generous, Comfortable, although a bit old, she knows her way around and has timeless shape, lacking in a lot of youthful beauties, cars I mean, these days. The world needs more of them.

Replaced my RH front suspension arm as the ball joint was shot. In other news my wheel parts finally arrived. Powder coater should be done in the next week. Then I'll assemble them and put them on!

Can't wait to see the wheels completed and fitted, we all know you win at the BMW game

Excite. I do like your project. Have seen a few in this colour combo.. or I have seen your car a few places.

Plus, the thread title always pulls me it. Cougars are a lot of fun, so much experience at that age, plus they seem to be very comfortable in their own skin.. even if that skin is a bit saggy in places.

Just finished my BBS RS. Will get tyres this week and put them on next weekend.

Will look quite different ... that gold should suite the paint colour nicely. The whole package will be a bit of a looker for sure.

If your going for the look i think you are, you can get 35% profile tires over say 40% ... they look way better and looks less nznissancefiroflatpeakwayfarer, fk453 225/35r18 if theyre 8.5 ... as you go down in width of the wheels just drop the tyre size from there. Added bonus of it benefit legal too.
