So last weekend I dug the 280 out of the storage garage and got her running right. I've neglected the s30 something fierce this year and I felt kinda bad. So yesterday I washed it for the first time in over a year. Yes I know....it was quite nasty after not washing it for a year....so sue me lol. Also decided to clay bar and 3 step the car and polish up the wheels. Anyway, I snapped a couple pictures today, hope you enjoy!































Yes that's 56,800 original miles on a 1978



Also, yes I'm aware it doesn't have bumpers, wiper arms, etc etc. The parts are reconditioned and in my basement, I'm lazy.

Hopefully I'll be able to put some time into her before I put it away for winter.

New shoes? As in new wheels? If so, no thanks. I love the wheels.

They're on the fenders, they stay cool just like everything else. No problems at all.
