Dropped the longchamps off Friday to be restored. Decided to polish outers and paint centres satin black with new bolts, Even ordered some 175/50/13 Dunlops to be stretched onto the 8" rears and 7" fronts

Sold the wagon now so ive got some more space to admire my garage floor ( wont be clean forever! )

Bought Datsport frontcoilover struts and some Datsport ball joints so all i need now is a pair of Stanza,200b steering arms and Girlock calipers to suit

Found a nice rear bar and polished that up today didnt realise how warped the old one was!!


hmmm thats enough money spent this week!




OH and more importantly decided on a A15 to go in under the bonnet..

175 50 on 8 inchers, thats a pretty big stretch. 6 and 7 easy 8, thats pushing it with such a stiff and small side wall.

would look insanely great. congrats

Correction 7 rears 6 fronts . When the wheels first came to aus they had 165 / 70 on the rear and 155/75 on the front.

Anyone know a good plastic chromer in adel??

Where abouts did you get the front lip? looks sik!!

plastic chromeing......lol expect to pay a fortune there is a place in castle hill (nsw) thats the only 1 i know of. $1100 to get a 1200 grill chromed......and there is no garentee it wont flake off. a bit rich i think but there is no 1 else that does it as far as i know.

Picked up the wheels today

Decided not to paint centres after seeing how they came back so shinnnnnyyy

Got some black anodised valves and wheels nuts for it, just gotta find some allen head bolts which ill get anodised aswell to match.

Next ill have to mask them up and paint black in between the spokes to finish them off.

Oh and as for sizes i was right the first time, there 7 inch fronts and 8 inch rears.

niiiice those are going to look awesome on the car with tyres.

definately would be a sin to paint the centres of those sexy beasts a dark colour!

good looking shed/cars

Hmmmmmmm

Wheel porn...

FYI, you can eat off the floor in that shed...

Started pulling out suspension and stripping car. Found bulk zip lock bags in different sizes so i can organise what needs to be cleaned/painted/coated and or replaced. So far the powder coating pile is biggest!!
