did this today:

the photo's kinda don't do it justice, the wheels really set it off. bit 4 wheel drive for my liking though!!










how much do you reckon these would be worth now?





parcel shelf looks pretty good too, covered it in some fabric (16mm MDF with recessed speaker holes and 3 child restraint bilts mounted):





these are the repairs I had to sort out for the trim. door trims:

he had to layer this over with a tack board to keep the plastic separator and stitch in the pattern rather than heat moulding:





the top and sides of the front bench also got replaced... very happy with this:





might buy some polish and have a crack at shining up the paint tomorrow too..... we will see.

keep going.........

$400 for tyres, $275 for new rares wheel trims, what, $ 300 for the centrecaps? THEN there are the rims.........

OH, and the genuine GTS wheelnuts, which are different to normal ones and not very common at all!!

Car is looking pretty schmick. thumbsup.gif

Agree with you about the ride height and the rims looking absolutely amazing!

Except one saying will always ring true in my head.
"Red and green should not be seen" wink.gif
I can't think of a colour that would have looked better though. White would have looked odd as well. Maybe no stripe and just a sheit load of tyre shine. dunno.gif

get my money back and more..... looking at what they go for, I would be looking around $1800-$2000 (optimistic for the higher amount but then again, people will pay what they think it is worth eh?)

I also have a 5th rim with a decent tyre on it as a spare.... so realistically a set of 5 with centrecaps, 4 trims, redwalls (4 tyres) and period correct trim rings.

big money biggrin.gif

the saying is blue and green should never be seen.

I think I should have gone the smaller band. can get 6mm and 12mm and they guy kinda talked me into the bigger band. not as understated as I would like it.
