get ssr mrk3s for it :y:

Id love to dude, but for now I'm happy with what ive got,

A major improvement from what i started with.

 

ive spent nearly $2000 on the car this month alone!

i thought the mrs's was expensive,Damn. :)

Okay, so inspired by Mungi Mods, i finally got around

to buying some sand paper and some Autosol so i could

begin polishing my wheels. I went 600, 1200 and then 2000

grit sandpaper and then hand polished it with Autosol and it

came up like brand new...

 

After that, i taped the wheel up and sprayed the centre of the

kidney bean holes and the centre of the wheel in black.

Its my first time doing anything this extensive to a wheel and

it wont be the last cause it came up looking much better

then i thought they would. Ive put up before and after shots

of the wheel i polished, and when ive rolled the guards

and the car wants to move again, ill put some more pics

up of them on the car. :wink:

 

It took 2 hours to do this one so theres definatlly some

elbow grease required. :wink:

 

Heres the pics.

so shiny!

 

hey man, you can buy a cloth buffing wheel for drills, about 100mm round for about $10-15.

 

use autosol with that and your arm will hurt a bit less!

Now theres an idea! Ive still got three to go dude

so some futuristic contraption like that could be

the answer my poor shoulder needs at the moment! :wink:

 

Its just another one of those times where i find my self saying

Why didnt i think of that? lol :wink:

 

Cheers m8. :hmm:

39.95 at bunning .. comes with a stitched one used with grey compound and a cloth used with white

goes in your drill

 

but no substitute for sanding by hand unfortunately..

 

 

once theyre buffed give em a hit with autosol and bling bling.....................

Should be alright to give them a hit with the drill then hand polish for a final finish though wouldn't it?

depends on condition..

i sand every wheel i do simply to remove any scratches and marks and to be sure i have a perfect surface to buff

most old rims have some form of oxidization which the buff will remove but it takes a long time to get the same results

all wet rub is the go... not so good for fingers but nice finish :(

Yo Pete, Any update on the beast? Or giving the VN some attention?

 

Still got the T5?

Hey ryan, yeah mate should have the motor back next week i hope, can't wait!

I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with this Calais dude? I know one thing though,

If i keep it its gonna be getting a manual thrown in it! But I'm just trying to weigh

up wether or not its actually worth the f@$k around cause it just looks like the

sort of car that would get defected in no time. With the way fuzz are these days

I'm seriously considering getting a little fuel injected late model Rolla to just keep

as a daily.
