	Kinda boring but we also had the Wheels for the Subaru Pickup Sandblasted inside and out and these were painted. A Random picture of the workshop, and a picture of the V35 Skyline We have in for a medium repair and Turbo Conversion. BIG Project.

	£45 for a basic Blowover of Four wheels.. that's just over £11 rim!! No refurb, just rub up, etch prime, basecoat and Clearcoat. Cheap as chips and really takes years off the wheels.
