Been cruisin my Fastback around on the weekends. Fun to drive it. Yesterday though i went to Starbucks with it and it wouldn't start ![[Frown]](frown.gif) Found a fuel leak so fixed that and it started right up. Been missing around 2200 to 2400rpms lately so we bumped the timing from 17 to 20 and it didn't like that so we bumped it down to 18 and it seems to really like that. Here's some pics and a video.

Need to tighten my parking brake, its not working good enough to keep the car from rolling slowly forward.

To help show the color better take pictures early in the morning or a bit before dusk when the sun is still out but very soft. Take pictures against greens, blues, or even dusty tan that fill up the whole background which should be easy in the area you live in. Make sure the backgrounds are very simple without any cars or random objects. The difference in lighting will play the biggest factor but the other little things will make your car pop.

The Core Support is aluminum, no plans on changing it.

Do you remember what the backspacing was on the rear? If I remember you said you did a little triming to fit that tire back there. ( cars lookin' good ![[Cool]](cool.gif) )

The wheel is a 6.89 backspacing and i have a 1/2 spacer. Maybe smaller i can't remember its thickness.
