No way mine will wear those wheels for a number of reasons.... Too much cleaning, quite popular and oh the big one is they wont fit on a 4x4! Monte's for me all the way but will also have a set of Cromadora replicas very soon so I can swap looks from time to time.

It would have to be worth my while to part with it tbh, I don't really have plans to sell it but on the other hand I have that many project cars that I don't know which way to turn, lol!

Headlining is done and in
and all the pillar plastics are fitted. Decided it's time to get the engine sorted, I had a bit of a major re-think on the spec and always wanted low down grunt but the new spec will have mucho more. Before the cam cover goes in to be refinished I needed to make the plug top coils fit...
So I drilled and counter bored the cam cover and made up some threaded tubes, these are bolted and loctited from below and fixed at the top with M7 Vag bolts...
The coils are 5mm too long so that's the amount I chopped off the end..
Long and short...
Looking good ...
That's another job out of the way!
