Lisa, welcome back to the sprint club..
Idd keep the original sprint rims as per XA-Coupe.. You will regert selling them sooner or later. Sprints just dont sell if they dont have the original rims...

Looking forward to the pics when you get them

My sprint had super lows in it when I got it. That was the first thing I did to it...Put it back to original... No scraping now..

Happy days matey, I bet you will now keep those servos busy for a while up your way. I think Cobalt blue is one of the best and much better than white or the matt black look...

Good work Lisa, good to see you back in a Sprint mate!

I reckon you should keep the Sprint rims and put them back on the sprint, then put the AUII's on the project car, they'd look hot then!

those pics look good lisa.....sounds like u really love the car.....and y wouldnt u its a sprint lol.....well thats the end of an era for me i no longer own a car, just a bike now...i was always a car/ford head....somewhere along the way bikes got in the way....and now im hooked.....i never thought i would not own a car....its an odd feeling looking at my car owned by someone else.....but im happy that an enthusiast now owns the car....... i hope the sprint treats u as good as it has me it was a reliable car in the 2 years i owned it i only put tyres on it a power steer hose and a battery which by the way lisa is a month old.....the old 1 died coz i didnt drive it much....she will give u many trouble free years.....

Wow, saw this car today, looks really good, sounded good when Lisa took off too!

Seems to be a really straight car and exceeded my expectations - many congratulations to you Lisa!

AU Rims look really good on a low e-series.

See you on the roads....
