B-Lugg Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Looks really good with the standard centre caps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanical Sympathy Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Oh man - Eagers! I had 225/60/R13s back in the day. How is it that raised white lettering and wide 13" tyres ever went out of fashion? If the overstretchers didn't have to, would they? The Jellybeans look good too.

megamannz123 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Retro!! The hardest part was finding 13 inch Eagers in good condition, a lot of ebay/gumtree hunting. I did some sanding to get rid of the major pit marks and scratches with 600/800 grit from memory and then had them polished by a guy in Coburg. I tried doing it myself but was never happy with the results plus I have to get this thing driving for my wedding in 5 weeks! After polishing I painted the centres and polished/painted the original centre caps, modified them to fit and bam! done. I have heaps to do, but it's getting there.
