The Wellers are so rare that you'll be lucky to find a set in teh first place.... The sets I've bought have been randomly priced from pretty cheap to almost as much as a new set of budget alloys

some random black cars been dropped off at my work, kinda resembles this one in some way 
after a good wash to see whats what, it looked even more familiar, IT IS ADES CAR!
heres some pics of todays work on the old girl, will be black and shiny again by tomorrow night, spent most of the afternoon cracking into this before going home in the R5 GTT missing the loud noise that this v6 monster gives!
bring on the prepping!
havent taken any more pics but car is completely prepped apart from primering and painting
you picking it up yourself mate or is kyle coming back to get it?

Nice one Neil! Sure it's goanna look hot!
Lets just jump back in time for a second and fill in the gaps
As soon as it was back at Chizfab the Wellers had to go on!
2WD suspension has altered the stance slightly, but still good.....
Before it even got a wash it was back out into the thick of the action, BDC licensing day at Silverstone!
Great day but I didn't get my licence. A very high standard was required and me being totally unfamilar with the new car (which hadles massively different) didn't cut the mustard.
Three days of practice at Crail should hopefully sort that before the next (and last 2010) licence day at Knockhill next month.

15" Wellers are pretty hard to come by, especially in decent widths. 13s are still made, and the 8 spoke versions are everywhere both new and used.

Awesome day at Crail with massive seat time, just a shame the starter died and then the PAS fluid boiled and turned to concrete!
Feels like my first proper shot of it today, Silverstone was great but I just couldn't get a feel for the car on such short runs. Have to say too that it's worlds apart from what I've drifted before, and so much easier
Quality waste of eight virtually brand new tyres..... (need less camber or more tyres next time!).

had to shoot away the head gasket went on the 5 and the throttle cable was halfway to death from that second run down the 1/4, managed to get under 16's with it like that though the turbo finally started to boost properly.... think it'll be getting sorted then ebay'd!
