So haven't really updated in a while sorry guys

Got it a new WOF the other day

Also have sourced another bonnet from RBlover (Ivan) he kindly gave me to front guards aswell, they arent in that great condition but panel beater might be able to use parts of them

Also picked up these the other day, they are 14x6 +11 Long Champ 3 piece welded rims (unfortunately they aren't genuine but oh well)

plan is to get Pine Engineering or Elite to make some new outer lips to make them into 14x7.5 (front) and 14x8.5 (rear) and hopefully they end up looking like this :):)

To make the small tyres work, you gotta slam the shit out of your car imo.
And that's not very practical in CHCH these days. It's hard on the spine too. (I must be getting old)

Are you planning on coming to Hanmer Nathan?
They don't call me the man with the rubber arm for nothing you know.............
