Brightons FTMFW!

What were the mounts coming through the lower front grill used for?

[Huffer]

I bet those mounts were for a snow plow... ;)

[SBsuby]

haha, yeah.. im actually working on getting the mount off!! its rusted solid! it was for dragging behind a mover i guess.

oh and what does "FTMFW!" mean?.. haha

For the mother f'ing win.

Nice. I like the color (I have almost the same car), and the Outback wheels also.


I can't see the 2nd dipstick, Is it an Auto?

[SBsuby]

what color should i paint the wheels? black or graphite??

I just got your PM... hahah.. ignore my reply.

I would just go with graphite...but I kinda like the silver wheels on the red car. Can of paint is only $5 I guess.

[SBsuby]

anyone else have a say in what color wheels i should go with?? black or graphite?

graphite looked sick on my old '95 that was the same color as yours. It's a little easier to spray well than gloss black. I just did 4 wheels in gloss black, it shows every little imperfection.

[SBsuby]

so.. 400 grit is good for prep for the wheels before painting??

[Huffer]

I used 1000 grit wet/sand as my first and final prep. I'm lazy.
