Nice work. Finish looks pretty good in the pics. When do you plan on ordering new wheels?

 

:), probobly over the winter once the cars gone to sleep for some more work, the wheels are cheap"ish" but the tyres wont be considering the widths etc

Sack off your house Marc and plough your money into your wheels. It makes perfect sense.

 

Wish i could but i made the mistake of doing some math on how much Ive wasted on rent in the last 5yr, sad situation :(

 

But atleast im not doing the the tosser thing of "selling for a deposit" crap :D
