dylan Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 How are you going to attach the flares man? I want some for my mk2 but want weld ons not bolt on fiberglass ones.Any ideas? ive welded the outer gaurd to the inner and im gonna pot rivet the flares on probably..........i would have gone steel if i had the money to......if your good with sheet metal you could make some up yourself,or i spose would most panelbeaters do this you could get them to make the flares and fit them yourself weld them on preferably...what ever you do though try and reframe from cutting the inner gaurd from the outer as its bloody annoying to try weld up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 ^^ oh true. Where to get steel ones from and whats the price? Might just pump my standard guards out huge stz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 You should use something like Sikaflex on the backs of them when you rivet them on, helps to stop them moving and cracking paint etc. And Methz good luck getting nice steel flairs for an Escort in NZ!

dylan Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 yea if you did find some they would cost a bomb same with getting some made unless you know a guy who knows a guy pumping the standard gaurds out sounds like the best option......HellRaizer--whats sikaflex?

CUL8R Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Fuck, took ages to find this thread Wheels would look , depending on your colour choice for the body, personally think the wheels should go with "solid" colours, and none to bright niether. Telepathic Stealing my idea cunt, twas meant to be my special idea, just hope everyone else doesnt copy. Where abouts are you getting the rims from? Oh and are the just "blanks" and then you get them drilled to your stud pattern? Cheers,Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylan Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 the wheels are from an american based company called summit racing they mainly do v8 stuff but i decided to have a look at wheels just in case and these popped up my uncle gets shit off there all the time including a set of wheels and he reckons they have great service and shit is usually at your doorstep within 10 days if i did get the wheels that yellow stripe and shit would be going haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2FKNLO Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 yeah man those flares lookin good. cant wait to see all corners shaped n stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Those wheel are pretty similar to what you have already but in the right offset. $300 for the 4 rims plus id guess at least the same again air freight. Why not get some widened steels made up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUL8R Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Have a look at your local speedway wheel place , they should be making some very similar, Im pretty sure they're called "nascar D windows" If you dont have one, I know Elite wheels down here do them, and there's plenty of people that can vouch for their service & quality Cheers,Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucan Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Yea the wheels are pretty choice eh. Someone bust out a photoshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylan Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 man i had a look on the arrow wheels site they have some fuckin nice wheels on there i might have to give them a call see about pricing etc my geuss is that there real pricey, would give me something to save towards though i suppose as i have plenty to do before i get wheels haha etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
