thanks for the comments fellas, and it was nice meeting you too don, i will look into the cruise for sure, i still have some work to do on the fasty, some small touch ups on the paint as well as a fender resprayed as it has some lower body damage, luckily my local paint supplier was able to match the paint pretty well

I really like that car.. it has been around the block a few times, but it has been getting better and better. Although I must admit I liked the Cookie Cutters better. The irony is I feel that Fuchs are figuratively "Cookie Cutter" on nice Type 3's.
anyhow Congrats man! If I would have been closer to SoCal I would have tried to pick this one up! |

I thought the same thing hmm I wanted to know what happened to the old rims since it seems I collect them. I have 6 cookie cutters and 4 more 15 x 6's would be good so I have two sets.

thanks fellas, and sorry notchback the color isnt going anywhere, the paint is pretty nice still considering its 6 yrs old, i sold the cutters to a friend of mine, i had the fuchs sitting around so i threw them on and love how they look, im more of a chrome wheel guy, plus the car doesnt rub at all, a 4.5 up front with 135s, and 5.5 on the rear with a 205/65, i also painted and detailed the fuchs myself, just need to order my isp caps, if i were to repaint it i would paint it black though

Neil is just jealous don't even pay attention to him he is a closet Fastback owner. That car I would love to own the last time I saw it there was no back seat I am glad there is one now it really makes it complete interior wise.
