bmxnz11 Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Is that mig or tig? Honestly I can't get my mig to do that Its mig. Its a real nice welder to use, never had any trouble with it. Those repairs took me a week though so i was taking my time lol Ha, i'd sell the van before i sell those wheels! Not seen this around town, looks great! Nice wheels, who widened them for you? Nice job on the repairs also! Cheers! I just use it to potter around the hutt. I'm too afraid to take it on the motorway ha I purchased wheels already widened. Looks to have been done a long time ago. The centres were punched out and welded into new 7inch bands so technically no widening? Who ever did it, did a real nice job though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I saw the ones in your thread, must have been running 175/50s? They suit the mk1 very nicely. I'm using the Neweld Turbo 220 mig welder. Can't find any info or pictures sorry. I'll take one tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the drivers rear side I don't plan on cutting into it again. I've done the big big jobs, that's good enough for me. So much for a 'I'll only get it up to a warrantable standard' attitude.

bmxnz11 Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 Where do people buy the bike carb rubber manifold inlets from? I'm on the look out for some but i may have better luck to just buy some tubing and cut to suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. Yeah I've thought about painting them gold but the silver/grey is in pretty good condition, just need a good clean. Think ill clean them up, get the curb rash then see how they look before i go changing the color. Anyone got any good deals on tyres? Was thinking 185/60s, same as the wide steelies.
