If I were you I put some 155/ 80 tyres on them. Just to have some grip for cornering. About the same dimensions as 5.60 tyres original mounted in the factory.

I can tell you that my change to 5.60's made the car more comfortable. And before the 5.60's I had 165/80's on 4,5 J's.

Car is looking great. I noticed the hub caps where did you get them from as one of mines is marked ,i always though they where called Baby Moons but was told the ones i have where called 1600 Classics more valuable that BM . Are you going to finish the interior and hood yourself or is it going to Gary

Hubcaps are Roger Bray http://rogerbrayrestoration.com/wheels3.html

the Super ones - no3.


Its with Gary at the mo who has been busy at the following:

filled the filler cap hole and relocated the fuel filler pipe so its under the hood.

new gearbox fitted - freeway flier with longer 4th

lots of tidying and adjusting that those cretins at Arden in DIDCOT (the worse build company with an inability to stick to budgets or do what is asked of them) didn't do properly - I'm not bitter :)

Trim Interior

Fit Roof

Screen

Wipers

done! Hopefully. All it needs then is a new exhaust which I will get made up by longlife in Salisbury

Trouble is just about to have my current contract ended so I am really hoping I can get into another quickly after xmas otherwise ..... not much left to sell now lol

Yep we can do wraps - they are well priced if you take into consideration the cost of prep & priming a car prior to paint. I'm in Belfast, but still keen to offer our services as cost effective. Can also do the printing (of the wrap) in Belfast and have someone local (to you) apply the graphics?

Chaps

I saw your cars at Dubfreeze. Thought they were both a credit to you, top job. I particularly like the Black Banjo interior.....might be due to me having one ready to put in my Spyder... :roll:

Spyder is in the workshop having some surgery but has a nice new wheel to come home to.....unless the bank manager takes it.

You at Sandown, Stonleigh, TIPEC?
