Are you keeping the rear whiper or not? If you keep it are you going to adjust it so it lays flat?

 

[joesouthgate]

Yer i will probably put a second facelift arm on it and mod the motor.

Those steelies look don. Do you know where they'd look better though? My car

 

[NeX]

Those steelies look don. Do you know where they'd look better though? My car

lol, make some up they are just powder coated k10 wheels

 

[capnmchl]

Are they powdercoated?

As hard as it is to differentiate from photo's, they look sprayed to me.

Either way, powder coating is the way to go with that sort of thing.

 

[joesouthgate]

yep they were refurbished and powdercoated at wickedwheels and had top range tyres fitted at a total cost of over £300. I bought them having never touched tarmac for £150!

 

[capnmchl]

How are those A drives, or seeming that car doesn't work, don't you know yet? I've been looking for some better tyres, and they seem an alright price. £35 each if I was looking at the right ones.

 

[joesouthgate]

I've no idea, i'll tell you when I know lol Car now has remote C/L fitted and dash refitted now all the pedals are in place

 

[joesouthgate]
