sits nice and low in the bay, only just clears the crossmember

had to cut the tunnel aswel, because the type sits a bit further back than the original box! so im gonna have to do somethin about the handbrake aswell, ill probably make up a hydraulic one or something.

crap pics but fuck it, was dark, only prob is the 3" of poke on the front, and the backs 50mm wider than standard already!! arches methinks
trying to think of some wheels for the kadett. between 13" and 16". prefferably wide, very wide, low offset, dishy, and rare or diferent looking. prefferably something that i can get in the exact sizes and offseft i want. found a place in america that does a wheel like wellers except in 16's, and any width or ofset. but they wont ship to Ireland.... anyways, think id prefer aloys of some sort. preferably i would like to keep it under a grand but will pay a lil more than that for the perfect wheel!
key word here is different lads!!
So its nearly finished then:eek: would 16's not be way to big for it, get superlites:p:D
