Awesome car, definitely lots of potential there
just looking at your plans for the car, it's gonna be similar like my TE72
I've got 15" aluminum rims with 195/50 (brand new), Mangnaflow exhaust complete with a humble muffler and headers, and of course springs cut to lower it 1.5"
The the width of of the tires combined with the lower center of gravity make cornering comparable to driving my uncles BMW Z3, and turning heads with a resonant exhaust is a bonus!
post some pictures of your progress when you can, can't wait to see her with some nice rims
