No idea then vaughan mwahaha :confused:
nice job mate shame to take apart such a mint oe shell but hay looks good now and goods good too!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers shaun, IMO mate this kind of shell is the best to build from as it will last upto quite a lot of abuse due to the cleanliness of it etc etc :)
Spot on. Who can seriously enjoy keeping a 1.2 Nova standard, they are terrible.Quote:

Earlier on i mentioned that i was going to be ordering a set of new tyres to try and help with the arch to tyre clearance issue that i'm undoubtebly going to have when my coilovers are fitted. So out with the old 195/45/16 Proxes and in with the new 195/40/16 Toyo Proxes.
After a quick pit stop at home one dinner time i left the car looking like this!

Gives me a good chance to paint the rear drums, beam and touch up the front calipers while shes up in the air with no wheels on!
Wheels with the old tyres on:

Then these badboys turned up at work, £223 inc vat and delivery for four, i think thats quite reasonable!

When i compared them to my old tyres the sidewall difference is massive so hopefully less trimming of the rear arches will be required! I've not fitted them to the car yet as I cant have my coilovers till christmas day so once i have them and have fitted them all on i will take some piccies!
I think they look miles better than the old tyres!
My exhaust was also supposed to be being fitted this weekend but when i rang the recovery fella on thursday to double check that we were still on he said 'yeah no probs ill come and pick the car up friday night (leaving it on the recovery truck all night out side his house) and then set off with it saturday morning' :tard: I dont know what you guys think but for me that was a mahoosiv no no so need to think of a new plan to get exhaust sorted!
Mint wheels and good tyre price. I wonder if they'll suit the Nova? lol
Looking good Andy, i'll have to get my backside down to yours for those wheels and tyres.
I bet you can't wait for the coilovers. lol
