Looks better than I thought it would Scott, no issues with the wheels rubbing on the inner arches on the rear then?

:cool:

Cheers guys for the nice comments, David, although I got 3mm machined off the mating faces the wheels lip it self is extremely close still, and I must have slight play in my rear n/s bearing, as it's touched the wheel lip against my arch on cornering..

But, I'll be getting arches rolled and some more suitable tyres fitted at some point.. No idea how people say they can use stretched tyres, unbelievable difference between these 6.5x15 on 165/50 and the expression 6x15's with less stretch.

Well Scott, pictures don't lie it looks brilliant but I suppose if you had to use this daily then is a whole new thing.

You'll have plenty of room if the arches haven't even been rolled yet! Looking good with the new rims, would look perfect with some SR vinyl.

Nothing substantial to report..
Did give it it's first half decent clean of the year..

Then back into the garage it goes, popped the cover over it, as for some reason my garage roof drops this odd dirt, like sap! Might be sap in the ply?

Really does Look ace Scott. New plans for the engine will suit this perfectly IMO. + I love the picture of it in the garage with the cover over it. Looks like its hibernating.

Yeah, the garage roof keeps dropping odd dirt on, bit like sap!

Cheers Baz, no unfortunately not, the let turned out to be a duff engine in the end with too many bits missing etc, was going to cost more to re build it then was worth while, I took as a sign to stay small block instead. :thumb:

Love it Scott, but think i still like the old wheels more....
Lovely big garage you have, lucky there. I'd get the wood on the roof painted. I prob is sap, that stuff can seap out for years.

1.6 8V on twins..... yes.... yes...... yes!

People wander why I've decided to sell this... April two years ago was the last time I posted on this thread, that because even though I've been buying parts for it all that time nothing has been done! So to me that says a lot, and it's time to part ways with her, let it go to a new home, hopefully a good one that will treat it really well with the extra tlc Ive not had time to give it...

So far I've fitted a few bits it needed, a magnex back box (but think I'll get a full custom made) and lowered it on coilovers.
