7.5 does seem awful wide, my 18" wheels are 7.5 wide and have a 225/40 tyre!
How about some weller steel wheels :D

I'll worry more about wheels closer to the end of the project. Got a couple of days worth of driving to do to empty the fuel tank before the tax gets cashed in and the insurance put on hold. Then it's stripping time. The car, not me!
Cheers guys,

Weekends progress was as follows:
First job was to remove the coilovers and driveshafts and fit the original suspension back in.....again.....

Went to the scrappies and bought strut tops so I didn't have to keep taking the struts apart. These, along with the rears are now stored out of harms way.

Removed the front end and stored parts as I went along.

And to round off Saturday disconnected the interior wiring loom, pulled it round to the front of the car so I could check that the rev counter worked. Earthed the loom to the slam panel, connected a wire from the coil to the rev counter.

Started the engine with a screwdriver and hey presto a working rev counter.

Well Chuffed...
Meanwhile, my cat was enjoying himself.

haha quality last pic
Because it won't be long before I can only work on the car in the garage due to the scottish weather, thought I'd best wash the crud off the inner wings to keep things clean.

Tonight, removed the loom from the car and set about making my rev counter wire.

Positioned the wire where it would connect to the rev counter and ran it into the loom to a redundant wire that would normally feed the bonnet lamp. Where it comes out the other end, cut back into the loom to splice with the green coil wire. All taped up and tested the curcuit.

Job done.
Coiled up the loom to store away.

Thoroughly enjoying this.
Tell me about it. Word of advice, never disturb a cat when they are in this position!!Quote:

At the coil, there's a green wire that runs to the distributor. Connect this wire to the rev counter terminal and that's it. I just decided to enclose it in the loom since the loom was out the car.Quote:
