Got my FD the other day
94 touring, 63k original miles, sat for almost 2 years because clutch went out and previous owner didn't have the cash to fix it, i spent the past 2 days restoring it to mint condition and ordered a clutch, only thing i can't get back to bran new is the wheels considering a powdercoat or stripping them and painting them myself. Any of you have a set of stock blingers for sale for cheap?
Car seems to run fine, but on cold starts it will run very very rich for 20-30 seconds (yes, it is fuel NOT coolant or oil), haven't changed the plugs/wires or anything yet since it's not road worthy as of yet and checked the MAP sensor vac hose, any other recommendations would be appreciated
Best $4500 I ever spent, pics are at:

well, price or not, i don't know how to work on it so it does me no good...
going to put a clutch in it this week as well as powdercoat the wheels a darker color (only part of the car i couldn't restore to mint on this weekend's cleanup excursion), however i don't know why it runs super ultra rich on cold start but cleans up after a few minutes, if when i drive it it doesn't work properly i'll have to pay the dealer to fix it anyway

no, i'm doing the work... this wouldn't be budget paying them for such a simple changeover, however i will purchase their subframe and other required parts minus fuel/coolant options
