Doogs Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Came up pretty well mate, good work. Have you thought about painting inside the wheel arches black, to neaten up the look ? Out of interest, what specs are those rims and tyres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benpedder Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 never thought of painting the wheel arches black, i'll consider it, i have no clue about the rims and tires! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke20rolla Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Looks great Ben :wink: :jamie: Just get a good quality gloss black spray can and spray inside the wheel arches, will make it look neat and clean. ;) If you need any help just drop me a pm and I'd be glad to help. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doogs Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 never thought of painting the wheel arches black, i'll consider it, i have no clue about the rims and tires! Just to clarify, I meant inside the arches. As you can see in the above picture, the old grime and that stands out against the nice new paint. I think that little tidyup bits make the world of difference. When I have done stuff like that on mates cars it has improved the overall look a heap.

philbey Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) You sure those brackets aren't Zinc plated? Anodising steel = Rust. Nice looking paintjob, I dig the colour. Edited November 2, 2009 by philbey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benpedder Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Lower the front?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) Looks good. Nice colour, and I like the rims which suit the period of what an aussie ke20 would have worn when they were done up BITD over here. :( Nice to see someone not trying to do an overdone granny spec or jap spec car. Yea you could always lower the front a bit. Don't go to far for the "look" as you will ruin the ride and handling. Keep the lower front arms level or just above.
