have a few more rust repairs and suspension work to do,but have a nice few goodies to go on it,will try a lynx manifold and single 40,and my lsd back axle.i also picked up a set of 6 and 7" minilites so will see which width i go with.
all the interior needs sorting too.so only a little bit to do.

haven't decided yet will see how badly the 7s rub on the front,i like the look of 7s all round,but if they are going to be a pain i can experiment with a few different offsets to see what works best.

when i had yuck 17"x7"s on mine I found the rears rubbed worse & needed to put the 205's there & 215's on the front (had left over tires from my subaru)

so reckon you should be fine all around
