Hey dude, first thing I'd do is measure those wheels! I doubt they are the correct stud pattern. They should be 4x110 but nothing in 17" is ever likely to be as that pattern got dropped in the mid 80s before 17s were common place. Next thing, is try and source some early bumpers, without the horrible wrap around. Good luck with it. Sorry for being naive, if it is the wrong stud pattern what then? Think they are 16"...not 100% I think those bumpers might be a bit tricky to get hold of! You'd be safer to get rid of them and fit something in the correct pattern. There was a red one breaking a few months ago with the early bumpers. Keep an eye on ebay. Search montrose rather than 626

I need to remedy the slightly leaky sunroof, it isn’t corroded nor does it have moss but the rubber has shrunk a little. Any ideas what I could try to sort this? Give me until the weekend and I’ll get some bigger better photos up on here. 90% of the time it's the sunroof drain tubes blocked, that allows water to back up and settle in the sunroof tray and soak you first time you brake ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) nearly all FF sunroofs leak (at least the ones i get to see at over 10 years old and on) but the drain tubes hide it by allowing the water to escape away from the int.

It does sit around the rim in puddles. So do I just need to re-adjust what I can or replace completely? Thanks for all the replies guys and Smurf…thankfully I had one of those with the car!

Still need to fix that fan vent on the one side. I used a glue that just wasn't meaty enough. I also need to go at the seats again with something. There was so much grime in them!

Spent another hour or so attacking the grime inside the car…this is what I was up to Saturday. ![](http://imageshack.us/a/img5/9086/9qfl.jpg) Successfully took the car on a 200 mile round trip to a national park on Sunday! ![](http://imageshack.us/a/img545/4641/d2vv.jpg) ![](http://imageshack.us/a/img405/4599/cukg.jpg)

Thats a cool car. Had a mate with a 4 door 20 years ago. It burnt more oil than petrol, but I still thought it was cool. I would fit some smaller diameter JDM style alloys, either way, really nice car, particularly with the 2 doors.

With the studs and nuts so far, no problem with the wheels and it’s actually most people favourite part of the car. I would look into some more wheels in the future though. Where would I look for these JDM ones?
