Default Rally car update for those who aint ignoring me



Not alot really expect boot/underbonnet done...interior is out and is half painted..very busy at the mo so slow progress...its booked in for body respray/tidy up...as i have previously said the body shell is worth fuck all so getting cheap make over...everything else that will sell is where its at ....just looking for a t34 .63 now grp a spec on the cheap then its engine done.

2 update pictures:- 17x8 OZ mags freshly painted (need 4 road 215/40's same make part worn if any have them spare PM me) and check out my side exit exhaust...might be loud especially with anti lag on

Phil we will need to see vids of that pipe running with the ALS on, its gonna sound evil.

I bought a set of 4 Toyo Proxes T1-R 215/40/17 for £240 brand new. Had no complaints and it thought I was a good price.

Only problem being the amount of prep needed for my wheel centres design, would take ages for some one to sand each bit down right. Need media blasting but every one seems scared when I mention the word 'rare'

I hope you dryed out the mag wheels properly like in an oven or warm dry room heat, to remove all the moisture, if this is not done then the mag will corrode quickly, as mag holds alot of moisture
