Watanabe's look bad dude! not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good!

Re: 175/50's have a look at Mini Sport

was gonna say they need chrome lips, nuts, caps and whitewalls to complete
the older look, the whitewalls will take it back a bit towards classic rather
than that 70s brawn the matt black watas give it.
Still looks great regardless of the nit picking.

I also like widened black steelies with chrome trim, chrome nuts
with whiteys or not etc. Pity no one makes a classic 60s steelie design
in alloy eg.Interceptor like rims used in commonhos stolen from BMW are
ugly but gosh they are light.

Yeah I know! I need the wheel-nuts as well, but if I were to be honest, I'm still trying to decide if I like the wheels on the B10 or not I like them on other cars and all and I love the rims but I reckon they're more suited to a sportier, faster looking body shape.... like a coupe or even a nice'n low 1200 ute.

I'll most probably put the Enkei's on next once I can buy some decent rubber for them.

u need centre caps for them Watts Chris.. :)

wow that looks the goods,
they fill the guard soooooo nicely!
deffinatly a fan of those bad boys
good job cheif!

Sorry Chris just meant that youll always be refining the riding hood
so its nice to see your work. Im sure youll be detailing bits and
pieces like the engine bay in time and sorting out the best exhaust
heat wrap combo to make your ride last well into the next century :)

Thanks.

I just spotted your mud flaps... very very very jealous. Are those OEM?

looks bloody beautiful well done,never really seen a build thread end.i thought they were all never ending storys.i want the rims dude they set it off.need heaps more pics

Hey Jake, Rubber is still the same @ 165/65

I'd like to go the 175/50's but I don't have the cash!

D I'm finishing it because it's basically finished, there are a few threads on this forum that drag on and on and I think this is becoming one of them so I'll just finish it while it's going good.

New engine got it's first run today and worked quite well, it's very noisy though. Don't like it, need an airbox & another muffler.

Kent, the wheels are 13 x 6.5 & 13 x 7 Tyres are 165/65/R13, Offsets I am unsure on but they cleared with the front left needed some minor attention. Back ones clear very well. One front wheel one bit the guard a little today as I came up the driveway so I may need to roll the guard lips, will have a better look at where it fouled.
