Waiting for loads of stuff to turn up but today I fitted the speedline 2113 Tarmac rally wheels
They have been refurbed in a dark colour which look ok but I will repaint them gold I think
The 16" speedlines had cheapo tyres so had to be changed

Better in gold

Although I do like the original 16" so may refurb them as they are a bit flakey

from memory those Safaris dont clear the 4pot calipers............

a pukka gpN wheel is similiar style but has more clearance internally

Coilovers have arrived and a few other bits
Also gave the front and rear calipers a little refresh as the old red paint was melting off after being covered in fluid
Here is one of the rears

Likey Likey Trev :sifone: And I totally agree on decals, on an original car then keep them on.

Look forward to watching your progress

paint job is pretty shoddy with a few runs and stuff mike so i should not worry
i am always too greedy piling the paint on between coats :sifone:

Stop tinkering and get driving :) And you need to get it dirty before you wash it :leaving:
