New wheels and tires installed on driver’s side. Had to order new “pins” from Trigo Wheels as the Trigo pins are a different size than the Vintage Wheels US pins. Love the new look.

I remember your post, some time ago on which you did look forward to stop everything and sale the project.
Seeing you now driving, with I assume a big smile on your face, is great.
Congratulation to your nice looking 289

That is a stunning project completed! You should be very proud!
What was the color of blue you settled on for your paint?
I always had a soft spot for the lines of the 289 FIA cars. I am in Boston area for now and your build has inspired me to visit and inspect the FFR 289 car on Monday at their factory.

Subaru Horizon Blue
This isn’t a typical FFR car. Only the frame, windshield, seats, and suspension parts are from FFR. The rest is custom. Even the frame is heavily modified

That I understand and much admire the custom work that makes it closer to an original
. My problem is if it took me 8 yrs to build one like yours I would be 78 yrs old and I doubt a walker would fit in the car! LOL
