We would like to thank Aaron Vaccar from ACV Motorsports for sharing this cool piece from the 2012 Auto Life Tour. For those who do not know of Aaron and ACV, their sweet Ford Fiesta build was featured in Ford’s booth at SEMA in 2011. ACV chose a set of Advanti Racing 17×7 V3 Vago in Matte Graphite for their build. For more information on ACV Motorsports and the 2012 Auto Life Tour, head over to Auto Life Tour

Project 1973 / 240Z
Every so often a mag will land on our desk and we will flip through the book and check out all the latest projects. Looking through issue #21 of Nissan Sport Mag we were excited to see a 1973 / 240Z project, which was later in it’s stages. The body work was near complete and the 270 was entering the wrap phase. Instead of the retro BRE race look, they chose a modernized design. In combination with the modern wrap, they chose the old school style of the KÖNIG Rewind in Graphite with Machine Lip. The Rewind also comes in Silver with Machine Lip, and sizes ranging from 14 x 7 through 16 x 7 with low offsets, which make it a great choice for all of your retro vehicle projects. Be sure to stay tuned as Project 240Z is set to get some more engine upgrades including a header and 2-1/2″ exhaust system.
