That is a great looking, period-correct wheel Daz…

I know you've been threatening it, but are these going to be enough to keep the Turbo's in storage?



Have you ever seen these wheels before?

 Zender turbos will get the refurb and used as and when as they will have the other toyo tyres so better for long drives to shows

Never in person. But they're rumored to exist on the internet…   :lol:

The only ones I have seen had black accents, never gold. Kudos if the gold is original!

Mocked the new interior in all day and just need to play with the welder now for a few hours to finish it.

Dropped the saggy parcel shelf in, I'll have to wet it and try straighten it out.

New wheels put up in the loft out of sight till I get the other jobs sorted.

Tonight's jobs done.

Tie arms locked onto rack tight, had to drop the gearbox mount off to get access but needed to make sure they were tight. Rubber boots fitted and tied up.

Wheels on and it's back on all four wheels.

Run engine up.

So I'll have to get it booked back in for tracking and not.

Just one final thought, do I have the arch to centre of the hubs equal giving the car an ass up stance or swage lines level?!?!?

Hard to see with the dark photo, but it looks like it's sitting ok  :thumbs:

First pic I glanced and thought it was on a rolling road for a moment as it looked like the front wheels are spinning fast!

Yep won't be long till it's getting spanked round Lincolnshires finest back road.

Just a few tweaks to do to get it all lined up and ready, tracking, suspension and brakes bedding it.

There's some good roads to spank it around!  :lol:

It will make all the pain worthwhile  :thumbs:

Torqued the hub nuts up tonight so now it's ready to go for the tracking / coilover / brakes setting.

It's never finished lol.

I've got the new wheels to fit when I've decided on tyres, a new interior then a few touches on bodywork then it will be done for this summer.

Winter plans are major, back to shell for paintwork and roll over jig!

The cars booked in for the tracking setting, mot test and asked for a report back on brake pressure at each caliper so I know if they are all setup right.

Hopefully then it's back on the tarmac!!
