I think that is exactly what I'm going to do, but I think they look terrible.

Edit: I could do something like the Belgian Camaro I found on this page:

That does not look bad at all and I could keep the fog lights on.

This is really cool stuff David. As far as the fog lights ultimately it's your car and you should do whatever makes you happy. If you value keeping it original above all else and they are original than go for it, but if you don't like them than ditch 'em.

I like the look in the pic on the white car above, and if I could make it look like that with the brackets it currently has, I'm going to keep them. Otherwise, I'll just store them.

Jack is the guy I bought the car from (he had it from 1975 to 2011). When he bought it, he said the wheels were hitting and the stance was all wrong since the front springs had been changed. He said he put stock front springs back on, had the rear leaf springs rearched and put stock wheels back on. That's why the date code is off on the Rallly wheels that are on the car now.

Jack said that the wheels that came off had an "ET" on the center caps.

Alfred's pictures are a little blurry, but I think these might be similar wheels to the ones that Alfred had on it:


Sold by Team III Wheels: http://www.etwheels.com/et/classic5.html

Alfred said he changed the front springs because he thought the car rode too low in the front and the front spoiler broke off.

Are they a decent wheel company? I've never heard of them. Those look just like american racing torq thrust II's. Id get you a link or a pic but I'm on my phone. And the american racing are a bit cheaper and are decent quality.

I don't know anything about them. For now, I am going to leave the Rally wheels on.

I have a couple more questions to ask Alfred.

1) Is he the one that put on the fog lights?

2) Is he the one that painted the grille black?

I talked to Alfred this morning and he put the fog lights on. I was wondering why I couldn't find any info or RPO code anywhere.

He lived for a while in the San Francisco Bay Area and it was real cloudy some mornings. The fog lights took care of that.

So.....into storage they go.

He also said the grille was black when he bought the car. The car currently has a silver grille that has been painted black. All non-RS Z/28s had a silver grille, so either there was a special order code to paint it black, or the owner before Alfred painted it black.
