I really don't know what to go for. I would love to have a staggered style wheels but can't really find any. Something with a slight dish that would suit would be nice.

Save up and take your time, in my eyes wheel make a car. So they need to be right.

Very true mate, but really having trouble finding a set I really like. It needs to just sit well with the whole look of the car. Want it to be very unique, something away from the typical crap found on the youngsters cars.

So many crap sites too.

Know of any sites that do different stuff?

I use www.rimstyle.com

Back to my new hatch boot i've slowly been working on.

That's been fixed. Got and minty spoiler, what a mission getting that on and fitted nicely. Gave me the dog a few times.
All ready for primer and paint now.

At the weekend i lowered the car back down. Giving me this.. I like.

But running low means if you turn to much tyre and arch have a lil meet up and bad things happen and it did.
So... Small repair later..

Then after a bit her and there, i've bare metalled the arch lips off.. well taken off what paint was left as the tyres are doing a great job of polishing the lips. Did a little cleaning up inside the vents as well.

Took them to the body shop and etched and primered them.

No dent.

While in doing that, i picked up a new wiper motor to re work to get a better wipe. So take apart, cut chop and re weld. Then cut the pivot bar on the linkage to adjust the sweep and re weld.

Then break apart cause i made the sweep to long so it wiped off the screen...

Re build and test.. All works. Strip apart and paint so it looks nicer.

While doing that, i found/ Dan pointed out that the Corsa spindles sit up much more straight from the scuttle, where as the Nova one sits at much more of a angle. So i had to try and get them to sit with more angel.
Made a temp plastic shim up to test, works very well.

Have a much better wipe now.

More soon.

A lot of work gone into that mate, looking spotless as ever, lovely ride height :thumb:

It's frigging minging! Was raining on way to Combe add in a few hand brake turns on the wet grass at Combe.. lol

I'm enjoying the ride height too.. well for looks anyway.

Good work as always BEnn. Any pics of the new wiper setup in situ (under the scuttle)?

Cheers Craig, i can take some.

Good work as allways benn.
