My Brother in laws coming over next week to do all the rust in the body.
Most likly do all the hard bits and cut the rust out and tack replacement shit in so i can get a wof

The engine in these things are pretty cool imo, bit different 8)

I think you should paint it dark green and take the vinyl roof from the white one and put it on. Those wheels are alloy yeah? If they were steel they'd look pretty sweet widened with a paint up. Whats the PCD on these and how wide are those wheels?

My mates dad has a Toledo, fucking mint example too. No where near as cool as the Dollys though :o

Yea i love the motors in these, Sorta love hate relationship.

Dark green you say,Like british racing or forest green??

I think i will just paint the roof black as the vynl causes rust over time etc.

Wheels are alloy, Gaz was hoping they were steel a while back. So i could widen them etc.
The wheels are 5.5inch Don't know the PCD

I guess British racing stz, didn't they come stock green? Like the one that was on Top Gear a while back. Use some por15 under the vinyl and you'd be sweet for many years and will look 100% better than black paint.

5.5 isn't so bad I guess, not sure what tires would suit that size though. What are your future plans?

That is a bit my problem too New Guy - it is a mammoth chronicle that takes half a minute or more to get to whatever you just wrote so I seldom click it.... and I have contributed to your discussion thread before, on the old car I guess.

Gaz - Is there any way to make Project threads shorter (i.e. less posts per page)? lus yew etc.
