good job on the floor pans rob :-[ ;) now if the car had been over in the UK for 50 yrs i gusse the plastic tail lights would have been salvigable but thats it. good to see it in good hands. now if you can shoe horn the BEAST in the ass end of the jelly bean youl be good. again nice work.  UD/JD. 

Cheers dude , should have the wheels within the month and start the full wireing next weekend :)

The current wheel i belive is a fait wheel the the Vworld Feature on the car said its a 15" rabbit wheel. This is a 13" wheel with a 175 70 R13 tyre , does rub on full look

good to see a nice set of wheels going on the little beast. i always wanted to do that. that should lighten it up a bit. looking good.  ;)   UD.

glad they got there ok.

when youve got the fit all sorted, I'll give them what ever finish you want on them, polish satin. just let me know.



Martin.

Cheers Martin will be a while yet , getting it MOT ready after the cage.

Jeff , do you happen to know the largest tyre you have fitted under the rear arch ?

Rob

awesome!  8)

the picture with the hair dryer engine in it those tires as i rember right were dunlop 195/50/15 or 195/60   cant qwit remember and the firestone 6in slicks. sorry cant remeber to well. those dunlops worked well  sometimes. HOOKED/SPUN/HOOKED/SPUN/WHEELSTAND/FRY. UD.

Not alot going on my end, the Fiat is still with the saint that is Jim Smith. I cant afford a set of custom ercos at the moment so i picked up a ratty set of BRMs to see if they will fit on the rear for now. If they do will sell the front set and leave them as spares.
