first things were first, needed tyres, but only cos they were all odd and one was nearing the limit, so found some vr wheels with 200mile old premium contact 2 tyres on them, he had them on ebay for 180 but i mailed him and said, today is the only day i can come buy them how bout 140? he said cos i was coming a fair way take 120, so off i went in company car

(as i still had it then) and picked them up, rims not as good as i hoped but tyres were all spot on,
problem with one was cos they hadnt been used for a while and were knocking on the rim was leaking, so had to do sand down inside by hand around the edges to stop the slow puncture.
now looked like this





as i write this, cos its in the present and this was oct 09, i have since decided i want a set of originals like it had on, but powder coated white (as my friend has a new job where this is gonna be possible, if i refurb em myself) , which after my hol next week ill be keeping an eye out for, but first a bit of body work, (see later)
