Enjoying this build man, progress seems to be coming along nicely. Keep up the good work.

Are those 18's what you are going with or were you just dummying them up? Not sure those will go very will with the colour or the car for that matter.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing the next stage.

Cheers. No they are not the wheels for it, had one off the mrs altezza so just thought id see howd it fit. Thought id better get stuck in and do something after spending 10 days ticky touring round da north island. Got all new nolathane bushes for everything and gonna get new shocks all round + lowering springs shortly so i can get her rolling. Will keep yas posted.

Sweet, what wheels do ya wanna run?

Also can you do a quick measure up for me?

Need/want to know how far from the body line above the gaurd to the top of the gaurds.

Was/is there a certain place to put the flares on?

Reason = I pulled my struts out of the car today and the springs are cutties... The car is rocket ship high with cutties!!! Hoping gaurds havnt been put on too high.

There meant to look "rocket ship high" with bubbles aye, there to give clearance when rallying.

Iv mounted mine close to 3" lower than there meant to be on my van to get it looking low, is a bit of a pain to do though cause you cant line them up with the factory curves.

Yeah kinda guessed that but wasnt sure if they had a special place to mount. Oh well, just going to have to go lower.. Prob need exhaust tunnel in car as thats just mega FTW!

Still be keen for measurement if your not busy.

Do you have instructiions for instalation or anything? Be interesting

Mine are in the position theyre intended to be i think :lol: just followed the factory swage lines with the guard ones. Will take some pics and measurements tomorrow for ya Gaz. Quite like these wheels except theyre 18". Mite look to much like a roller skate, but would definately fill the guards out.

Or these dtm ones which are 17" x 8" but dont like the multi fit holes. GAY
