Vintage Grumbles AE86

[Vintage Grumble]

I think it's the lack of dish that looks odd to me, as it's always had a bit. I might try shine them up a bit, or go full retard and paint them white.

Agreed. Fronts look OK but rears need some added width for sure.

Some of you guys are being a bit harsh. 

His AE101 FXGT looks pretty good I reckon

[Stu]

That's very kind of you Sir, but I have a tame tuner in town (my BIL is a haltech certified installer/tuner), I just need to get the car out and tuneable, lols. 

I have taken the first steps, new battery sorted & a welding blanket has been purchased. I really don't want to melt/catch the dash on fire when I do the rust repairs.

[Truenotch]

That sounds like less than 8 weeks work to me.... So... oldschool drags? 

Stoked to see this coming out of retirement.

Very tidy work there VG.  I wish I could make things thatblook that nice. 

My RX3 has similar damage to the passengers side rear seat mount. (There was a block of wood jammed between in and the floor.) I guess ~30 years of beople being pushed back into their seat when the 'dree's were opened was too much for the tissue paper thin metal.

You're such a fat cunt.

Thank you sir. Yeh the factory mount is rather spindly, and that 4age power definitely played a major part in its demise.

How dare you! Didn't you read Barts comment, its clearly been over powered by raw 4age power, nothing to do with my mass!

Nice new wheels. Love the depth to them the chrome and gold centers. Very cool.

[Vintage Grumble]

I am a huge sucker for gold centers, so much so that I had no intention of buying new wheels, until my ocular sensors were confronted with the 80's goodness of those rims.

[Vintage Grumble]

P.S. I actually worked on my car last night, so I'm giving myself a gold star.

[Hyperblade]

Love the wheels.

Out of curiosity, what's the weight rating on those (no manufacturer ever wants to put it on there website)?
