Lol, no that's Chris's brother, Matt. Mine has'nt seen the road since I brought it! Ongoing project that has'nt been touched for the last 2 years:( Will be making a start sometime in the near future though, most of the shell is finished, arches, paint etc. Just finishing the bay ready for paint and got a half cage to go in then send the bottom end for some work to get the donkey finished!Quote:

ok i've not really liked the steelies ever since i fitted them, and have been looking for a set of either period or euro alloys, so imagine my surprise when this thread popped up!
http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=84569
so with a shopping trip with the family to chester on sunday, i collected them on my way home. (cheers lee!)
Now i hadn't really looked at the thread properly, so when i got them home i was pleased to find that they were ATS classics! (mahoosive on the dub scene) And they have a gm stamp in them too. ( a bit of research has found that they are manta a rims) they're 6x13 with a 30mm offset. they are in need of a full refurb but are fecking superb!
Tyre choice has been a bit of a mare though, and after trying a coupe of sizes today, i've settled upon 175/60/13,s.
so here's some pics of the first trial fit tonight. They're gonna be tight! Arches will need to be fully rolled!

you can see in those pics that the arch needs two small repairs, ( the lower was an mot advisory) but apart from that they're quite solid.
All i have to decide now is what colour do i have the rims, black? black with chrome detailing? silver? oh and the car needs to sit lower too, and i need some new front brakes, hmm this is gonna be quite a challenge methinks!:thumb:
Liking the new rims.
That bubbly rust an mot advisory? how come?
Is it spreading to the sill?
Black with silver round the spokes if that makes sense?!
As in silver going around the inside of the spokes, cant think of an example of them but ive always liked that combo. They do look diffrent though!
I got an advisory for mine as well as its within 6 inches of the chassis, and considered to be structural
Also as mentioned before, (but just cant remember!) what brakes are you fitting under 13s?
Cheers ad, yeah mot man at work reckons the corrosion assesment tool (lol ) will hole it next year. You can see where it's been badly repaired before. Gonna get it done before it gets any worse.Quote:
