Wire wheels are an acquired taste. Still waiting for a couple of oil unions to arrive before the oil system is complete. The coolant side apart form couple of clips and the heater side of things is there. Fuel just need to be tightened up, new filter put in and the return pipe connected. Its getting close for the mechanical side of things. Body work the next big thing. Just got the high build primer to hide all the small imperfections. Not to sure what to do with the big ones. er idea Hopefully, if i can get it for a decent price, the car will be plastic dipped matte black, leaving the chrome nice and shiny. Otherwise to go for matte red and paint all the chrome black. Seem so close but its still so far away

Thanks for that but their dyno can only handle 270 bhp, the standard engine puts out 280 ish.

Thanks.
Its the coverage that I'm after. I know that when using normal paint it take about 1 ltr of paint mixed with thinners to do a average car. 2 ltr will cover an average car when you want to change the colour, light to dark or Vicky verse.
The plasti dip quote of 5 ltr of dip plus 5 ltr of thinners seem loads.

Has anyone had their car Plastidip sprayed. Mine needs a spray job, did think about the wrap but that still seems pricey. I have seen the Frost plastic spray but they say you need two 5 ltr tins as its pre-thinned to do a small car.
What the coverage like.
Did a base spray coat on one the doors looks all right, still one or two pin holes from the filler. Just think the Plasti or wrap might hide a lot of sins.

I know what you mean about the wheels. I didn't like them to start with but they look better the longer there on the car. Now I prefer them to the old ones give the car an aggressive look, which is quite hard for a Stag. All this work has so far took over a year. Not that much to do till it gets fired up. Well there's still loads but the list get shorter, then longer much longer.

The front bit is somewhere for the intercooler to hide. The tyres are a bit on the thin side but there the one ones I had. Could go up to 45 profile and they shouldn't foul anything.

Forgot to mention that before i could convert it to rear disc and bigger front calipers and disc had to get some larger wheels This caused more issues as these were 5 stud and not 4. Adaptor. To fit the disc to front hub a new top hat. To fit the calipers to the front hub Take off the old bits. Put on the new bits. All the bracket fitted nicely with calipers sitting very central which was a first. Put on the Adaptors and the new wheels and it now looks a bit like this. Looks a bit high but it been on axle stands for a while ( long while)

When that video was taken it had the Rover V8 not the Triumph. The gearbox is a r154 linked to a Toyota Supra Turbo LSD. The stopping power is now The rear have been converted to disc
