Thanks jarred, pulls up so well, pedal is soft then all of sudden your head butting the wheel!

I've had a few passengers nearly faceplant into the dash, good times!

yea, nice.

as steve once showed, these can work very well!

yeah im a sucker for pumped/flared guards and 13's

Was lucky to find this set, most ive found are basically 0 offset,
the ones i got are 13x7 rear with roughly + 8
Fronts are 13x6.5 with +16

Rear rim just sits inside guard, fronts a little out

Thanks to Peter For the wheel nuts,

Thanks mate!

Todays lesson, You can remove a engine without a hoist, and by your self

Step 1, jack up front, take wheels off, lower car down with 1 brick under each lower arm. Make sure you got a tyre under engine/box.
This is a good idea to remove your lower brace if you have one, as i learned its hard to drop a engine with that in the way

Step 2, undo all mounts, caution, engine may jolt a bit.

Step 3, jack car up and put wheels on with 2 nuts each, then jack even more up onto car ramps.

Step 4, slide engine out underneath!!!

DONE!!......
