My Type 19 on Type 5's

[team_v]

I was thinking about spacing them about 10mm but then i'd have to raise it as there is very little space between the tyre wall & arch.

I'm at a bit of a crossroads, i'm thinking either this stance;


or tuck all around...

Don't like that look, i would prefer the front sitting right out like the rears.

Hopefully we can get you to come to the Xmas euro meet.

When & where?

Friday 17 December, Brisbane (Hamilton - riverside park), 7pm

Would be good to get some older euro attendance and to see this thing in the flesh.

Always have a soft spot for the deep dish wheels. must look good when the wheels are rolling?

[Jarred]

imo, low offset skinny wheels with skinny tyres doens't look good, i'd prefer getting good tuck all round. but a bit of spacers to get the tyres near the arches never hurt anyone (although alot can be said for scrubbing sidewalls, lol!)

I love the wheels on that red MK2, but it needs to be dumped and tucking hardddd!
If I ever do RS's (unlikely), 0" lips are a must.

Dude what you've got going on looks great. It's subtle, period-correct and just looks ****ing good.
MK1 and MK2 guards aren't the easiest guards to work with. Unless you want those skinny ass Nankangs that stretch basically to the shape of the guards lip, tuck is the way to go IMO.

After a few months of neglect, i decided to give the Mk2 a bit of a wash & took some pics with a better camera;



Walking into the garage every morning always makes me smile


Was at Cooly Rocks On! festival last week, lusting over customs & hotrods. Took a bit of inspiration home,

Swinging hips Elvis for the mirror;

and a lady luck for the side;

Dang what on earth happened to the lip of the front guards?

Me basically i wanted to go lower but encountered some rubbing issues. Cue my first attempt at bodywork. A mixture of a lack of skill, time & the right tools result in what you see.

But they are a work in progress, i just need to finish them & stick on some arch trims. Just don't have the time at the moment. But at least there's no rubbing!!

[walshydub]

Almost finished the front arches. Just got to smooth the edges and paint them


Came out well considering i've never done any bodywork before.

All one colour(ish) again!
