Few pics of my 1976 Mintgrun

[Poon]

Just wanted to share some photo's my friend took of my '02 before it was tucked away for the winter. I havn't posted here much in a loooong time, so I figure there were some new guys here who havn't seen my car yet.

God I miss that color! My first (rusty!) 2002 was Mintgrün and it's still my favorite. Think I might repaint my current 2002 in Mint when I have the engine out in the spring. I do like your Minilites, but I still think that bottlecaps are the best complements for the Mint.

What size are the wheels and tires? Panasports or Rotas?

[Poon]

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Yeah, the steering wheel sticker is funny, but I have a Prototipo coming in the mail from Pelican.

The wheels are 15x7 Rota RB's that were from the group buy a while back. The tires are 195/50 15, Yokohama S.Drives. No rubbing issues, lowered in Eibach springs, all spring pads removed. Going to get Ireland stage 2's and camber plates in the spring.

Where did you get the shifter knob in this pic:

[Poon]

Shift knob was yanked out of an early (1977-1979) E21 that was at a local wreckers. However, I'm not sure if it was an original option for that car or someone had swapped it in. It is by far my favorite shift knob for this car.
