Just got the tires in from Longstone and I DID find two more Campagnolo from Japan so I have a full set now!

Wow! You found the wheels, impressive
Yup, the wheel lost by UPS showed up after almost 3 months AND I found 2 more Campy wheels in Japan that were basically NOS. The only issue (slight) is the wheels are from two different year batches and the older ones have a slightly less silvery color. They also have less information cast into the face of the wheel. You have to be looking but I may end up having to respray them to get them all to match...

Put two less silvery on one side, more silvery on tge other. Nobody will notice, and you will quickly forget which is which.

Don't know how I missed this thread, but huge congrats Tyson! That looks like an exceptional example to preserve. :love:

Can't wait to see it on Campys and CN36s. Perfect choice.
Thanks Russ! Yea, I'm taking my time with it... I'll do a full release when I'm done buttoning it up.

How is the GT build progressing?

Realized I hadn't put any pics up in a while. Remarkable how clean it is. The area under the steering wheel is remarkably clean. I haven't really cleaned much besides the carpet and a quick wipe down of the dash. And I got the stain out of the rear carpet...

I know some people dislike the stock bus-sized steering wheels, but not me. Bet under the funky vinyl cover there's a pristine OG. Rock that wheel. :cool:

This car looks amazing Tyson. You scored.

The lugs are satanic details. Very cool!

You need another pair of lights, Tyson... how about some big-assed Marchal 709 spots? I have a couple of sets in both clear and yellow lenses.

Haha! How many lights can you put on a 2002? I'll need a bigger alternator... Lol. Thank you, Russ. I'm still figuring out the light wiring to get these hooked up. One complication at a time. ;)
