Had a bit of time in the shed today. Started on the back seat to see what changes have to be made. I want it to look standard so it covers the tubs :banghead:  :clappin:  :soapbox: . Also I knocked out some ctrs so I can weld then into a set of 300mm steel bands that I will make up with 3.5" back space so they fill the guards out :sucker:  :driving:

Wheel after going to the dawn service & thinking of what great people that fought for our country. :party:  :clappin:  I decided to do a bit of work on the car after lunch. I have now completed the entire back seat & it fits nicely around the tubs. You would not even notice that it has been tubbed from the inside. Pics to follow

Well the weather has changed all of a sudden & looks like winter is on its way. Had a chance to knock up the rear wheels. Ended up 15 x 10 with a 3.5" back space :shoot:  :nopity:  :driving:  :party:  :deal:



Rubber next on the list :furious:  :nopity:

Not sure what brand name. Shit I didn't even look at that. Just had a quick fit up to see how the tyres looked on the rim.They were for another guy so they ordered me another 2. I Rang shit loads of tyre places & not even half of them could help me let alone call me back. So much for customer service :banghead:  :thebird:  :shoot:  :furious:
