All my wheels that i dont think will fit. Test fitting tonight. I have on there now 14x6 +20 and there is no room upfront :-/ and the smallest i have is 14x7 -2 so that will be interesting and hope it fits with the right tyre :shock:

Then found this. Sent a photo back to painters and they said it was the trucking company so at least they have to pay for it!!
More updates tonight. Wiring is a mess :o

man that engine bay looks amazing with that B110 turb/weber/rotor setup (or whatever it is?).

yeah wiring takes ages ah, thats all I have been doing last week or tow myself... but slowly getting there

your car looks a lot tidier than when I saw it on my driveway 18 months ago! keep it up

No, I know previous owner Jacob.

He has helped me out with a bit of engineering work on my car over the last couple of years.

I actually have the original motor (long block) out of this car in my coupe

Been so busy trying to get the car done for the wedding but doesn't look good. Wiring is absolute crap. But wiper motor is working and horn is going. Fixed exhaust today and been driving and has started to blow blue smoke :-( hopefully its just as she runs in!! Selling all my wheels to get it fixed right!! Street works suck!! I wouldn't ever go to them. I wonder how they are still in business. Poor communication and crap work hmmmm
