Haha i guess having three projects and not a running car made me get it going asap!
Has anyone here used SSR Mk2's before? what did you do about wheel nuts! My shank nuts that a tyre shop got for me won't fit and they said they can't get any different to fit, am i best to lathe the nuts or rebore the wheels?? i've heard to get proper ones you have to import from japan? but that will be way to expensive and time consuming..

Loving the effort, we are all Jealous of you young fullas.
I had my wheels redrilled and inserts fitted so they took Std tapered nuts, much easier to fit, get them centric everytime and wheel nuts are easy to find.
If you have shanked nuts maybe get them bored to suit, easier than importing, and easy if you lose a nut or one gets stripped. Or the cops don't like the colour of them.

Is it expensive to get them redrilled and inserts? i might go down that road so i dont have to worry about getting funny nuts if i ever loose them etc

yea man ebay seals all good used them on my 120y coupe they were a little to long just cut them down a bit to fit barely notice the join as for outer window squgees ebay ones were a bit shit and the rare spares clips were even worse. the inner felt glass guides were great fit too

Managed to fit the front lip and put some nolathane bushs in the front still have a few to do to make the steering feel better, this weeks mission will be to put the mirrors on(properly) and get my wheel nuts sorted for the mk2's heres a wee snap i got on the weekend credit to my friend looks good!
