this wheel is the same size yet the tyre is a 50 profile where as my tyres were 45

Notched chassis? Or is it not that bad? Will look awesome go like that.

[Jack]

Quick, hide the pics of the 90s 3spoke unless Lewi comes in here and starts having an orgasm lol

[burgo]

Notched chassis? Or is it not that bad? Will look awesome go like that. :confused: thats literally a wheel lobbed under a bare shell so no notched chassis or owt lol

dont think i would ever run that low, hmmm or would i, we shall see :p

That first picture makes me sad, RIP red shed!!

[burgo]

That first picture makes me sad, RIP red shed!!i thought someone else was having red shed so it was going to live on?

[Lee H]

So did I but it never happened as usual.

[Rickardo]

The wheels live on.. Well in my garage anyway..

[burgo]

oh :( so crushed now?

[craig green]

To me it doesnt look overly low on the 45's, but with that 3 spoke it does. Is the offset of the 3 spoke making the tyres sit closer to the arch, making there less space?

I like those 3 spokes btw. Put them on!

[MK999]

3 spoke is the shell rested on tyres I think, he's saying it was basically a few mm away from the tyres rubbing the chassis constantly, which is indeed low.

[craig green]

Yeah I wouldnt disagree about it being low. I love seeing a slammed car being built with the wings off. Is this being built or unbuilt Burgo?

[burgo]

ok i may have confused you all lol. the first picture is of how i had my saloon sitting which according to some wasnt that low :wtf:. so being as there is a bare shell sitting on the floor in the garage i thought i would do an experiment. the three spoke is just placed in the wheel arch lol no suspension or anything, its actually wedged in there, so i then placed a saloon wing on to see how the wheel sat in relation to the arch. having done this ive found my saloon was only and inch and half higher than this shell sitting on the floor.

[craig green]

So you were playing? lol

[burgo]

i was playing to prove my saloon was on its **** yes. having found its only an inch and half though i may see what i can do with the light blue one :p

[Lee H]

oh :( so crushed now?

No, think i'm going to have to cut it up as no-one will come for it not rolling :eek:

[MattBrown]

No, think i'm going to have to cut it up as no-one will come for it not rolling :eek:

I have a beam here someone can have, if they go an grab lee's shell.

Can't say fairer than this:thumb:

[burgo]

No, think i'm going to have to cut it up as no-one will come for it not rolling :eek:same as we are having to do with this gte shell, tis a shame as it really doesnt need much work at all but meh lol

[MK999]

Mines been up for ages practically given away if you think about what was included but no one wants it so it looks destined for scrap, probably going to cut bits out of it to repair my TD/mk1 with.

[MK999]

Yep, at one point it had big block hubs on it too, but saw count vaux was after some so gave them to him as a thankyou/sorry for bombarding him with turbo questions when I was reading up on it lol

Harnesses are gone now too as someone wanted them recently and I needed the cash, plus shell needs to go before June really as it's been sat for near 9 months and I said I'd get rid of it asap to the parents so they're a bit sick of driving round it to get on the drive, so I cut them out for him there and then.

[burgo]

typical, i bet you sold them proper cheap aswell

[MK999]

Yeah, got a couple of shock bills in just recently so stuff has been going for tempting prices, snowplough in savable condition went for £65, harnesses for £30, selling bits I don't really want to to etc atm, bad times ahead :(

[burgo]

i now dont like you

[MK999]

:( I apologise for derailing your thread also. lol
