I manage to get all the wheels into the smart car and down to the local tyre place to have the tyres taken off ready to send the wheels of the Rhino alloys for the refurb. Getting the wheels and tyres home was fun as there isnt much room in a smart car on the best of days 🙂

My favourite pastime of welding has finally come to an end 🙂 and i have finished the body work and can now get on with putting the front suspension back in and get on with the build properly.

Finally i pick the repair sections up on monday so this will be the last bit of welding on the car 🙂 i will be so glad when its done! then the real fun can start. Front suspension back in, and engine and all the nice bits like fuel lines and brake pipes. I have another engine now so it looks like that’s the one going into the car if i get it finished and i will be selling the 2.1. As the other engine is slightly newer and i have a better head to go on this one with…

The old OZ alloys are looking a little bit worse for ware after being sat around for years in the garage, so they will be off for a bit of a refurb in the next week or two. Finding someone to do a good job has been hard as they are very hard to get replacements for so i don’t just old wheel repair place getting there hands on them. So after a bit off a google and a fe phone calls i found Rhino Alloys http://www.rhinoalloys.co.uk they know there stuff and have state of the art Diamond cutting tools…
