Rolling as in fired up and running, or just on her feet?
Great stuff, but after buying a new camera you still don't use it
Finish this car or you will regret it boyo

Yeah too right, looks even better then I expected on those wheels. Should of held out to put them on my Focus RS....they'll have to go on my FoCos then!
Looks ace, now push it out of the workshop and get some more pics of her. Then carry on, keep the momentum going!

I hope these pics make you realise that time and effort has gone to build something amazing. The wheels sit quite nicely too, so with or without spacers you'll be laughin' mate.
I have to resist slapping an RS kit on mine. I have to put my foot down and be happy with a RWD standard looking FoCos

Definately needs wheel spacers if only on the back just to give it that beefier stance have to say this and the white one looks fuckin ace lovin the wheels.

I agree it needs wheel spacers, just to bring the wheels out a fraction.
