Got some new wheels finally. 14's +8 offset. Got to sort what I'm going to do with the centre's, wheather ill got them painted same colour or not.

May also possibly flip centres for the rear depending on how much they fill up the rear guards. (would get them polished obviously)

 

Am also trying to find another set of struts to get adjustbales made up

those new rims look HOT!

love how clean your car is, looks sweet :bash:

any updates? overrated wagon to by the way

Ok, have finally got home for 3 weeks holiday so have taken out the centres of the new wheels to get sandblasted then powdercoated. Am unsure wheather to get them done in the same gold colour or maybe in silver? So any suggestions welcome. Thanks

Hey, thanks for the comments. No picture updates yet, have just got home for a couple of weeks so am taking the new wheels apart to get sandblasted and powdercoated and polished. Will give it another wash while I'm home and get some decent photos taken by someone with alot more knowledge of photography than myslef. Tried the wheel on the front without tires and looked pretty sharp.

 

Thanks, Shaun

do them silver dude don't take the focus away from the car with a funny looking gold center. when are you back in dunners for uni,

Have had adjustables made up now, just waiting for new shocks. Have been painted quickly by the guy who made them but will do them properley before i put them in the car. Here is a couple of pics of them

 

 

Have had my wheels apart to get the centers sand blasted. The blasting was too rough for the wheels to be painted as it still shows up the imperfections the sandblasting has left so will be sending them away to get powder coated. I had one painted silver just to see how it would come up/look sliver. Think they will look the part. Have only had half of the centre painted but here is some pics to get an idea what they will come up like.

 

Left side has been painted the silver ill be getting the done in and right side it just primer/experimenting

 

Here the far side has been painted (can see where is painted and where is not)

Chur Shaun, wags is looking the part! Keep up the good work. I'm over the ditch now, have a few rollas in my fleet here haha.

Got 2 tyres fitted so threw them on the other day and finally got adjustables sorted so put one in tonight to see final height.

 

Pics of when put two of the wheels on and testing height:

 

 

 

Here is pics of the height it will sit at. got a pic with 17s on too for a laugh

 

 

Still got to find 2 more tyres and sort starter motor as that has decided to pack up. Finally back from uni for the summer now though so should get most things done within a month fingers crossed

Nice work mate. Have the wheels been powdercoated yet or are they still painted? I think you should do them in a darker colour

like a sparkly charcoal :y: or BRIGHT ORANGE!! :y: (Or sell them to me)

Nice wagon mate! Liking the 14s too... Maybe would look even better with centres flipped at the back? For extra dish. Either way keep up the good work.

Cheers guys. Still havent painted the centres, will get onto that tomorrow with some silver metallic spraypaint i got (only tempoary) until i can afford to get them powdercoated after i have done more important things.

 

Yeah am thinking about flipping the center on the rears but will have to send them away to get polished by a pro if i want to do that. Slowly coming along.

 

Have pulled starter motor out to test it and it seems thats working fine so will whip it back in and check the wiring plus add a few more earths to the engine.

any updates on this? nice clean wagon, love it :dance:

 

He has a boner!! Haha had to mention it.

Awesome car by the way. Top job :dance:
