Default Here's M9 COS as you've never seen her before!!!

Scotts gone out so I thought I'd share some photos that I took of M9 today, she's a bit naked but I'm sure she won't mind .........









She's still a bit rough around the edges but I'm sure she'll be back to her former glory very soon

I have to admit I did get a bit nostalgic when I saw her today Can't wait untill she's finished. If I'm a good girl I'm sure Scott might let me have a go, as long as I stay away from high kerbs

They certainly are!! As far as I'm aware he used Granada hubs I'm sure he'll divulge the techy stuff when he sees the post

All I know is it took him a hell of a long time to decide on some wheels, I was sick of receiving e-mails at work with pictures of god damn wheels on. I think they are lovely, they'll look even better when the car is finished and has the bodykit on

there could be a reason why photos have not been put up of the car, lots of thieves roaming these sites at the moment, and from them pics, i would say its pretty easy to find out where its at. Becareful with this one

The car isn't kept here It's been in storage for the last 3 years and it's tucked back up there safe and sound.

It's unfortunate that there are theives roaming thee sites but what are you meant to do??

The reason that there haven't been any photos of the car for a while is that Scott's only just finished rebuilding it and it's been without wheels for a long time. He's only just got the wheels for it now and he didn't want everyone to know what they were before they were on the car

cheers for the nice comments guys.

Wheels look sooo much better in the flesh and they look HUGE!! They are still 19" but on an 8.5" rim with a smaller offset / spacer combo so that they fill the arches well!!

Gotta fit the bodykit, spoiler and some mudflaps to protect the paintwork from the the wheels been wider and thinking that I should lower her another half inch maybe??

Then she needs a DAMN good clean and mapping at Karls then she's done!

As for being stolen, she has a tracker and 2 immobilisers and as Claire has said above, I don't keep her at home, she's stored in a mates place with an excellent security system linked directly to the police station which is half a mile away!!! LOL.

Obviously a very well looked after car,

And a credit to the owner that he cherishes it and looks after it so much, but for me I have never been a fan of loadsa shiney heavy bits that serve no purpose, and the wheels dont suit it at all IMHO. They make it look too high off the ground, the shape of the spokes is weird and not flattering - looks kinda awkward - and with such skinny rims and tyres it just takes away from what is otherwise a really top looking car.

But hey, I drive a flourescent orange Datsun so what the hell do I know about style ??

Absolutely gorgeous...I would change the wheels though, camber on the rear is diabolical!

I'd love to see it on some compomotive wheels...!

Any chance you could zip up the whole load of high res images for these, i want to use one as a desktop but it's to small

Wheels are awesome looking in the flesh as you don't get any idea of the dish or the size of them on pics.

Ginge, there is no rear camber!! Probably will be when I lower her another 20mm.

Lee, would love to do Croft in her but pretty sure the gearbox and front diff wouldn't last a lap!!! LOL

Gonna lower her a little more today and finish off the rear handbrake too.

Looks great on those wheels I saw them a while ago on a BMW and really liked them. As you said, it does need to be lowered a bit more. More pictures once finished please
