I have those jets, had to remove due to fuses popping frequently, meaning wipers wouldn't work either, dangerous at times. Just be careful

Cheers Kyle

Cheers for the heads up Generation seems strange that you had that problem, i wonder why? I've put pretty much a whole washer bottle through them and they seem fine so far

Cheers Shaun yeah, they were starting to get on my nerves too, seems much more responsive on the brakes with the new setup.

Gonna be doing a rebuild on the wheels too, i've currently got them split and have some new bolts and valves on the way. Hoping they'll be pimpin' when i've got them built back up

Yup, OZ turbo's, absolutely lovely wheels IMO. Much better than RM's (ay Dan? ). I'm glad you're looking forward to the plans Carl

Found a local lad who lives round the corner from me who'll be able to do the welding on the rear for cheap cheap i hope, so it should soon be on all four bags.

Split the OZ's and cleaned them up of all the old sealant and crap (such a tedious job :lol currently prepping for paint once i've decided what colour/s they're going. My custom bolts have been made and are being shipped from germany. Got my 24K gold plated valves from germany too.





Cleaaaan wheels. Un-decided on colours.





Fab'd up my gauge panel for the DIN slot and painted it up.



And also cut the ash tray to bits to make my sneaky switch pod.







Absolutely love the switch location now, very easy to locate and use, and pretty discreet. Was a bitch to do but i'm very pleased with the result.

The finish on them is immense Flaffy, definitely worth the investment

Cheers Darryl I'm really stuck with options for the wheels, dunno whether to go polished lip or something different and paint them. They're quite scuffed up as it is as the previous owner sprayed them silver, so it'd be easy to prep and paint them. Polishing would be a lot of work to get them decent standard i think

Cheers Mark im not normally a fan of painted interior parts either, especially when it's just the odd few things, love mine though

Cheers Dan, i think i much prefer this one to the old one, the texture on it makes it blend in a bit more

The valve photoshoot is boss Danny lol. Do agree though, gold and polished would be too much like yours.

Darryl, that's close to what i've been thinking actually. Had it in my mind to do something a bit different and go for anthracite base with rio verde marbled on top and doing the dishes cream. Undecided though, not sure if it'd be too much or just work.

Would be a bit like this old chop from back in the day



Need to do a chop with the turbo's me thinks

Wheels will look awesome on you're car. I would go for polished lips with body coloured centres. Not a massive fan of genuine splits with painted rims, just dosn't suit them and makes it look like the cheap way out.

Cheers I know what you mean but these dishes would be a bastard to polish to a decent standard. I think i'm edging towards paint tbh, something different. Could always polish them if i don't like it
