im quite chuffed with the results for a diy jobbie, i have very little skin left of my finger and 3 more wheels to do now though Crying or Very sad

the lip that the face was mounted to had a texture to it so i had to sand it down until it had a smoother finish

by Karl Sat May 21, 2011 3:34 am

by finch Sat May 21, 2011 12:46 pm

by finch Mon May 23, 2011 10:53 am

All finished!!!!

thank god, i hope i never have to do that again, EVER
looks sweet tho, need to head out tomorrow morning and find some tyres for all 4 corners as it scrubs massively.
then it'll just be a case of levelling the suspension out and im done for this month:lol:

what are you going to go for ?
how wide are your wheels

by finch Mon May 23, 2011 2:56 pm

They are 8 and 9, was looking for a 205 45 front and a 215 or 225 45 rear I think

by **martyn** Tue May 24, 2011 2:32 am

mine are 9.5 and i have 225 45 so 215 on a 9 is good same as dans ps13
