The wheel re-furb was ?50 a wheel. That was including having them diamond cut on the face edge. It was less for a standard re-furb. They also done a good deal on the toyo's. I have seen a few sets of these wheels but not many. Glad i held on to them now :D

Got round to doing a few more bits today, starting to take shape now! Need a few bits to finish off the doors

1, internal door stay for drivers side. (not sure if they are left or right sided?)

2, small plastic seats that the door handles sit in. They go between door handle and paintwork x 2 per handle. (Passanger side)

3, Internal door release catch. Think there is two types need the one which is mounted to a metal frame.

If anybody has these bits for sale or are having a clear out please get in touch  :D

Got a engine thats being cleaned up so will be getting the bay painted soon then drop the new lump in. Then its a set of coilovers and a big brake set up and general suspension clean and sort out.
Will be keeping the plastic arches off and just getting a set of small ones for the rears. Does anybody know where i can get these from?? :dontknow:  thanks.

The shell of the donar car is up for grabs it is a very solid shell comes with new wings. Better than alot of shells out there. pm me if interested.
