Refurbed my track wheels :-)

[Goldy]

Todays fun was refurbing a set of 14's. They were a right mess and had been poorly sprayed beforehand. There was a load of peeling paint to take off. Decided to go for matt black for the colour scheme as I think it'll look sweet on a red car!! ...

Anyways here goes :

After a session with a metal file, and electric sander.

Dunno whether to do the centre caps or not. I'll proably leave em off for the moment!

they look real nice goldy, what paints are you using there?

[Goldy]

just grey primer and dupoint matt black paint i think its code lp112 or something. Was thinking bout laquering them but I kindof like them as they are =P~

Nice job goldy, well done.

Cheers,

Owen.

whats the RR on them goldy? and the widths?

[Goldy]

14'' inchers 195x65x14 at front and 205x60x14 at the back (I think) they are the standard rev1 sizes.... I wouldn't have minded a bit of extra rubber at the back as i've got 225's on at the moment, but I guess it'll be entertaining on track :icon_lol:

[adamh]

whats going on with supercharger conversion then?

[Goldy]

Still waiting for my friends mate to do the fabrication of the pipe and brackets. He's been sitting on it for nearly 2 months now :slap: I can't really complain cos i'm paying him in beers :beer: :icon_neut

[adamh]

are you having them in ally or stainless r normal stuff?

[Goldy]

All getting welded up in stainless :eusa_droo The guy is a welding god, but spends all his spare time building landrovers... he's built possibly the best v8 landrover in the country (its being featured as a weekly build project in landrover enthusiast mag).... I'll see bout giving him another kick up the arse!
