Thanks she is my baby but still needs alot of work all the tires are p235/75/r15 expensive tires been looking for some decent priced white walls and as you all know those punks broke out the little electric side window whe they stole my stereo:(

So now i have to replace it which is kinda hard in the bay area since i am on a limited budget till my new job starts.

Those are the orginal rims from when she left thefactory unfortunately 6 years ago my grandpa went to visit his sister in new york and they took the rims on the passenger side but i am replacing the original hub caps for i hope orignial tru,s

Thanks again ill remember the anchor lol

That is one sweeet ride, there is a guy here that has one that has been completely restored and he wouldn't sell it for any amount, he drives it every day.
Good luck in your restoration.

I was thinking the exact same thing - that it is screaming for whitewalls. It just doesn't look right without 'em.

To the OP - looks like a nice ride. What part of Oakland? I used to live in Hayward, at the bottom of the hill by CSUH.
