RA28GT Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 Steel wheels can be redrilled to 4x110 quite easily. Frank has done a bunch of them. Easier option than converting. Quote
Lumpy_4k Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Posted December 27, 2010 I was kinda thinking of doing a 55 driveline conversion as i have an old one sitting round thats beckoning to be parted. Diff, leafs and struts go straight in? Anyways an update on progress....I went a little crazy on stripping it down today...started at 4 pm just for something to do, next thing i know its 9.30 and its almost fully stripped lol. I was quite impressed with the lack of cancer (although I haven't taken the paint off yet) the only bits I could find were in the rear window surrounds (right side mainly), around the top of the boot...right side again and in the bottom of the boot on the right rear....i am sensing a pattern here, why only on the right hand side? Does anyone know what the reasoning behind that little garnishy piece below the taillights of 20's are for? Aaaaaand...does anyone know how to safely remove the chrome stripping off the roof guttering? Here are a few happy snaps: Quote
LXY-642 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 I think the axles out of the 55 will go in the 20 diff? I dunno, doesn't sound right to me as I thought the length would be wrong? Any one confirm? And answer this guys questions about the 55 stuff into the 20? Quote

Mechanical Sympathy Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 Gee its'a shame it's broken. When you pull apart a car, lose interest and cbf putting it back together, all the value is gone. It only took you five hours to pull apart - it won't take much longer to screw it back together. A few weeknights in the shed instead of watching the 7.30 report... Hopefully you can get your inspiration back and get a decent ROI! Quote
