Pictures of new car...finally

Well I've been getting hassled long enough, here they are. I broke down and took some quick pics of my new '72T. It was against my principle to do it before I got all the wheels looking like the left front (that took hours) but I couldn't hold off any longer. I have a drivers side view mirror on the way as well, for anyone who might have noticed. That is just spray paint on the other three rims, UGH!

Mike, when you buy a car like yours, there's nothing like the feeling you get when you drive it the first day. I bought mine 3 years ago and the new car feeling hasn't went away. You pamper and polish other cars for the first year, maybe, and then they become just cars. The newness is gone. Your 72 T will be just as fun to drive years from now.

Nice car and congraduallations.

Gary

Strange. I love the car, congrats. But the pictures of the Ontario made me suddenly homesick. I grew up in the Detroit area, and remember driving across ontario during weekend trips to Toronto or beyond. Count yourself lucky.....you have plenty of wide open spaces for those high speed runs

It's funny you say like it lower. I just raised it. But it was way too low. Also when I took the pic I had just raised it so it hadnt settled. After a little driving it sits at Euro ride height or as close as I could get it. 25 inches to rear fender lip and 25.5 to front. I agree in the pic it looks too high though. Espescially the front. Thanks for doing the wheel. I just went into the garage though and the real one is still black...wishful thinking.
