Sorry had to have a bit of a chukkle over the "So it's not going to be race car, drift car, or be super low or have hard suspension etc. (deal-with-it.jpg)" Restoration? Next post, tears engine out fits some thing else.. haha. *Waits for post #47* "So we stumbled across some 14x9 3 peice bla bla ...and some coil overs "

Finally got some photos on the stock wheels with new white walls.. And cars on trademe... http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =429140925

Bridgestone and Nankang to a 165/50/15

was going to chuck on trademe auction for 12k Bit spency for an 808, but think should sell for that, if not can sit in storage.

Cheers, yeah kind of lost enthusiasm to keep playing with it. Think rebuilding two of the same model car was the biggest mistake! haha. Actually drives pretty sweet, such a tight low k body, gets plenty of "yeeaa boi's" from randoms on the 3 or so times i've actually driven it. Going to flick it and do something else I think!

Finally got some pictures with wheels on. Went down to 100mm ground clearance, as low as I could go and get through Vin. Also will fly through wofs at that height... tyres are a bit on the ilegal side tho.. front esp stretched to shit to get on, 175 would be better, think i could run if put camber plates up the front. Would like to drop it another inch, but will mean breaking out spray gun, should have rolled under edge of the guards, but didn't really plan to run such wide wheels.. Still pretty happy with it, was the look I was after.

looking good man! Now must be time to put on that windscreen chrome?

Just passsed through getting vinned! YEEEaah, back on the road!

Had white wall guy around Friday! White walls looking all crispy new again, last set was done back in 2004, were starting too look a bit av. New tyres on my original 808 rims that I had acid diped, painted back to the original sliver.

Looks sweet, but yeah quite liked the original colour. You're lucky to have an old man that can hook you up with a paint job that fast!

heaps of room in the rear, recon you could fit a 10" wheel with a different offset. Didn't really want to start messing with dif, hmm will see.. chassis rails are a 100mm off the ground where its sitting now, so any lower is going to also cause wof issues too.

1" lowering blocks in the rear, as low as I can take it with out lipping the guards.. Looks a heap better. Photochop another inch.. so tempting can't be arsed busting out the paint again. And any more low, and its going to start scrubbing guards. Wondered what the wheels would look like bronze for shits and giggles.

Wouldn't say its sacrilege, but these cars on 13's and you end up having to raise the rear of the tunnel as the driveshaft ends up eating it.. (well if ride height gets reduced to meet the wheels.) I'd rather just leave the stock rims I have stock.

Sure, got any paint left from your wheels? When can I drop them off.

yeah thought about it, could have bought the ones with the charcoal centers, but silver seemed to suit better. I'd be more inclined to paint the whole wheel bronze maybe, wait till I've got some suspension sorted.
