excellent workmanship yet again,
but your wheel choice has never been a fave of mine. look too modern for the car, are a bit fugly and look to be too slim and without a decent offset?
but cant complain at the time span it took for you to do what you have done.

to say its another sideline/DD type vehicle its absoutely amazing, good to see different stuff done, it looks like an aussue or us car now definately foreign looking for some reason. Wheels look fine in black for purpose, i figured they were 'general nightmares stock', lowered it will look great, fodder for any show. Talking of stock did the van lend its bonnet?

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

Talking of stock did the van lend its bonnet? yeah its the bonnet from the van but mainly due to the injection system on the van when fitted with the nitrous plate and system no longer fits under the 2" cowl induction scoop so a new 4" cowl induction scoop is on its way for the van
