So in the mean time I started the wheel rebuild saga..Broke 1 of the bolt heads off, stripped 8 but was lucky enough to get them out. I think this is the first time they got some love in 9 years and trust me they need it. So I got them all split apart and bead blasted the back barrels and dropped them off to get powder coated black. The centers and the lips I'm still thinking of what to do with them. I heard there is a good chrome shop called pine rivers Electroplating?(anyone herd of them?) or I may do the wheels all matt black but im still not sure-any ideas? Im looking at getting all new hardware now

Awesome work as usual Jay.
look forward to seeing the exhaust fabrication pic's! Is really is an art form I reckon!
Wonder how it will sound with the hair dryer on there. May tone it down alittle bit, but hopefully not take away all of the VR6 bark.
I knew you loved V8's deep down! I see the pic in the background! hahaha
Surprised you don't have any old American muscle car posters up too!
Wow HRE's :eek:
One of my fav wheels
Cant wait to see them on
3 piece FTW
i looked at the wheel and went 'you *******!' lol ... knew it was hre's straight up .. haha.
looking forward to seeing how it goes, might have to fly up and catch up with you guys early next year dude!
keep the pics coming man!
nice J
I recon got a matte black with gold bolts (or chromed bolts) for the wheels... Or is that too much :?
good to see the turbo build is nearly done!
Damm you yankees can do some good things :P
Thanks M8's I cant wait to pick it up;-), Yea I was thinking all spiked chrome or black chrome bolts and lugs too. Im gona have to pick up a part time job over the X-mas break lol
i want to strip the dpe's but dpe arent very useful in giving replacement bolts or anything info for that matter!Quote:
