Hi,
here are a couple of shots of my wheels with chrome hubcaps. First the original steels, with 175/70/13 tyres:

And now with Seat Ibiza wheels and 185/60/14 tyres, which givi it a slightly harder ride and a more aggressive stance.

Thanks smudger, trying to get it to a decent state ready for some shows, nothing show and shine, but enough to not feel ashamed about.

Lots and lots of good cleaning made me realise two things, one how bad it was and two how blue a blue roof is! However along with its clean hood it's now sat back on its original suspension and has new clutch and accelerator cables and new grommets too, turns out the old accelerator cable was just held in to the pedal with hope and prayers. Hopefully I won't need a new clutch cable again for a long time as the bulkhead grommet is such a tight fit I ended up using a broom handle cut slightly to fit around the cable for some extra push!
