What do you reckon guys? white inner arches or black?

and those shocks are being replaced by coilovers, the brakes are being converted to 288mm disks, any the wheels are being replaced by light weight alloys

all comments welcome, but please keep it to constructive critersism

Cheers

TBH I have no idea what they are, but they might well be RL7's as the have that printed on the inside of one of the spokes, just never knew who made them, they way less than a steel rim alot less.

not to bad as they were free :lol:

It's gonna be used day to day, but i've still got alot to do body wise, the engine should be in within the next month or 2, the gearbox should be finished shortly, the engines not going in the front though :D

but I'm gonna do the arches black now.

^^^ RL7 (Obviously this is in white and not black!!)

If these are the wheels you have then you're VERY lucky, and getting them for free would be very VERY VERY lucky!!
:D

well think about it FWD cars never get enough grip and suffer with bucket loads of underdsteer, so I've cured that by putting the engine in the back and making it mid-engined RWD.

gonna test fit the engine this weekend :D

Make sure you get some pictures up of the engine!

Sounds mental!

Great work!
