Pics tomorrow

[Curt]

I've been thinking, and I think we need to give the hubs on this a good look over... As this keeps happening I think it's weird, I'm thinking that where they've snapped before they may have damaged the thread coming out...

It's really less than ideal and you've been REALLY lucky so far mate...

We'll torque 'em up too.

[Scott]

Well we have another car to take the hubs from if needed

[Matt]

May have to get the replacement hubs, just to be on the safe side.

Plus I'm currently running on steelies till I can find some new bolts for the bolt to hub spacers as don't want to risk anymore breakage.

[Poodle]

If Ed's don't fit i've got a pair of 16mm in the garage.

[Niall]

Well we have another car to take the hubs from if needed

No you don't. My names on them bitch!

[Matt]

Yeah I saw that Niall. Bastard. Yours 16mm? Ideally want to swap like for like so if anyone has any 18mm they want to chuck my way

[Niall]

There not going on my car. There won't be a spare set going unfortunately.

[Matt]

Oh really

Anyway


2 wheels done so far today, waiting till tomorrow to put them on the rear, then I'll get the others off and paint tomorrow



Mirrors and grill hopefully painted tomorrow too.

Get them on and it's just the front bumper too smooth and paint and then the rubber bits I need to replace(coming off eds car at the weekend). All set for FCS




*touchwood*

[samass]

looking good! ill have a set of spare hubs, but, the bearings are FUBAR, and there might be a bolt of two snapped off, but if you just use them for the hub bit, and use the rest of the assembly from yours, then youre welcome to them once i swap them out on my car

[Matt]

Cheers for that Samass may have to just do that if mine are fubard

[samass]

cool, just let us know, few beer token and they are yours!

[Matt]

Sweet cheers mate. Will know as of Saturday. Gunna get curt to check them over

[Fozzy]

Looking good matt, Hope you sort out the bolt snapping situation, you're a lucky bugger on the motorway.

[samass]

[Matt]

Teaser









Caps are being painted, and other two will be painted ASAP as weather is crap at the moment.

Caps will go in as soon as the new nuts arrive

[4WayDiablo]

Sort the paint out! Lol

[Niall]

Sort the paint out! Lol

This!

[cwspellowe]

Looking good mate, needs more wides though

I have a set of cheapo 10mm spacers here you're welcome to use if you want some spacerage at FCS, they're not hubcentric though so I wouldn't recommend driving on them!

[Matt]

There already on 25mm spacers! Haha and what's wrong with the paint? If you mean the rear bumper, that's just dirt haha

[4WayDiablo]

Yeah I could see that was dirt. It doesn't look even or thick enough. Looks too thin on the door. But you said it was getting sorted so no worries

[Matt]

Could look thin as its Matt? Has had a bloody good go over. Door does need doing again as I used a slightly different paint on the drivers door lol

[4WayDiablo]

Scrap it and buy curts '6

[Matt]

If I had the money I would have already done it

[Grant]

Purple looks good mate!





It will compliment your pink roof...

[Matt]

Hmmmm.........

[Scott]

That purple looks really good mate. Will it be making an appearance this weekend? Would love to see it in the flesh

[Matt]

Hopefully going to be there this weekend, just don't look too closely at them haha

[Scott]

Bring your materials with you and we'll make a start on the other two

[Matt]

Haha good idea tbh if I do come down I'll do just that!



And yay my new nuts came today, so now hopefully I can put the caps on my wheels
