    put some blocks of wood under the wheel so you can apply weight to it, gives a better idea of where it will sit.

        soooo, if you were me and you could pick up a super rare set of azev type b's for under a grand would you?

        here's what they look like if your not sure:





        I could also get azev type a's for about the same (maybe a bit cheaper even) but they are not as rare.

        Or should I maybe neck up and get my audi wheels on (or for that matter my rays......)

                It's still around! I am in a bit of a slump with it though! I have a set of wheels and adapters to go on it as well as a euro lip, but I am struggling to decide what to do with it next. It needs paint pretty bad, the panels I got make it look alot nicer but the front doors are pretty faded and the clear coat on the roof is damaged. A respray would make it look alot better (maybe even a partial respray - I dont know.) But I am debating whether its stupid to spend the cash on it! I dont have a garage anymore either so I cant paint it myself!
                Mechanically its been great since I fixed everything though, but the next question i have is the Queensland safety certificate, will it pass on coils does anyone know? Its still on Vic rego and i really need to deal with that asap!

                  I still have the front doors from mine stashed away in the shed at the parents place in Toowoomba. Paint on them is pretty much perfect, they have been stripped of pretty much everything attached to them though. Yours for free if you want them.

                    I have standard suspension if you need to swap that in for rwc too. Id probably try with the coilovers in, wound up well and truly past legal height though, if they knock it back you can return in 14 days with everything fixed and theyll check it for free, and if it all passes give you your pieces of paper

                      hey Ben, Yeah I do want them - it will make a huge difference, although I'm dreading swapping the window mechanism etc etc back in. I might take you up on "borrowing" the stock suspension too! First maybe I'll try and find someone kind of dodgy and wind the coils right up!

                      i need to go stare at the vortex mk3 picture thread for awhile and get motivated!

                              I havent decided on colour - but if I could run 17 x 9 rears and 17 x 8 fronts that would be rad.
