Cheers chris

aww you let her use your pink gloves

looking cool man!

when all is said and done this is going to be one sweet mk1!

pictures of the turbos now they are built?

F**ked up on the widths. Half inch smaller than planned but nevermind.

Totally assumed that oz turbo standard lip was 0.5, not 1in. Not to bother as the BBS 1in dish looks much better so its not been a wasted task. They'll still look awesome on the car even if a little tucked.

Not long finished building the 7's. Did the 7.5's last night and fitted tyres to those this morning at tinklers before i went to work.

Here's a pic of the 7.5's before tyres



They look bloody awesome in the flesh

Jimbo also let me know that my centres have now been milled so they perfectly round and has also repainted them so i'll be collecting them on friday.

I'am going to buy 2x 2in lips along with a new set of RS nuts then swap over again when ready.

didnt matty try to tell you about the lips?

Yeah me and joe were right then why did you not just measure them?

they look swish though m8, cant wait to see it sunday

WOW! they look awsome!

TBH mate, i really dont know why i did'nt measure them , but all i can put it down to is the fact i been very busy with work and doing a bathroom makeover at home. Also, the parts of the wheels have'nt been in the same place long enough for me to measure. Just slipped my mind to bother. Like i mentioned to ya aswell, the standard lips looked like bbs 0.5 lips due to the way they made.

The 1in lips only owe me 65 quid so its not a big loss

I'am just about worn out with sorting things on the car now

Both front wheels leaked air yet was built exactly the same way the rear was . Found out they was leaking from a couple of nuts in which i not long sorted. Hopefully they'll still be inflated in the morning otherwise i going to be waking the neighbours when i flick the compressor on to pump them back up
Centre's caps are now on, 1 was tight which will probs be a pig to remove lol but i'll get my head round that when the time comes.

Also have a new stubby ariel courtesy of my workmate Sher and i also have a carbon drip tray cover from Lee. Cheers lads

Going to detail the car up when i get to UD

Hopefully the wheels will hold out buddy, I've packed my space saver for you and I've also packed up the front rm's just in case.
