  1. Is your wheel catchin on the lip of the quard ?? if so that is easy as to roll once that has been done you can flare it from there. I have a guard roller if you want to borrow it. Im in auckland btw
  2. I have a cusco style bolt in cage and some black door cards. I have got 16x7.8 and 16x8.5 bbs rs on my series 5 with 195's up front and 205 out the back tucking tire and scraps everywhere cats eye etc just an idea if your thinking of slamming it on 15's pm if your keen for parts i might have coilovers and stuff for sale early next year
  3. ive got 13x7 -19 super lights with 175 50 13's on my mk1 escort with rolled guards, the suspension is leaf rear and coilovers up front have not problems even with 4 people.
  4. suspension tech - east tamaki, owner chris should be able to help he builds race escorts and makes all suspension
  5. I have one aswell its well used have rolled plenty of guards in my time if the other falls through you can use mine.
  6. i only have my lock up till the 20th so i don't know if that will help?
  7. hey ive got a gaurd roller but im in auckland so im of no real help but i did own a chevette wagon and found you can use a guard roller on the front guards ok but the rear guards are really thick and dont roll easily or well. I do it as a part time job and on my chevette on the rear i used a hammer and dolly came out mint.
  8. my other project along side the chevette.
  9. cheers for that everyone. and i had the pinto in and mounted with the 5 speed on it etc and it fitted sweet itfor sale atm but if it dont sell it i will rebuild it and run that at a later date depending on my money and others cars this is more of a side project for me atm but i will keep you updated.
  10. hey, Im doing an engine conversion on my 1979 vaxuhall chevette, I have a G200 piazza motor and 5 speed gear box, and disc rear end. I have fitted the rear end all is sweet with that, what i am wondering is with the engine conversion what engine moubts should i use ?? the standard 1275cc engine mounts or the g200 engine mounts ?? and with the gear box crossmember what mods do i have to make?? and what drive shaft do i need to use the standard chevette driveshaft or piazza one?? and last question im putting the front hubs, disc's and brakes from the piazza onto the chevette, im just wondering is the offset different or the same ?? any info will be primo. thanks David.
  11. re- guard rolling no it want make the guards look any bigger unless you got them flared, it can be done with out cracking the paint if you use a heat gun and a guard roller or metal bar, if your in Auckland i have a guard roller and do it on weekends, I'm doing my girlfriends this weekend or next i can let you know how it goes if you like. cheers David.
  12. drop spindles if you can get them or get them made up - not cheap tho or remove the thread with nut on the you wound down and install a longer thread duno if you can do it on your van or if it the same set up as a l300 but yeh some ideas duno if they will work or be safe tho
