    Had heaps to be done but just not enough time. Everything was ready to go on to get the car rolling. Started with new rear wheel bearings and put the struts in, rotors on and finally got the BBS's on. I can already see they won't fit well as they will hit the spring on the suspension, will look into spacers. They are BBS RC324's, 17x7.5.

    For those who know the VR6 subframe, it has the 2 extra subframe bolts which are after the sway bar. To keep it looking oem and not just leave them unbolted, had to put in some captive nuts. Drilled through the floor (about 3 sheets of metal) then used a hole saw on top to then fit the welder down and use the similar type of grommet plug thing that the other large holes get plugged with in the floor.

    Sorry all the photos are terrible quality..
    Cheers, Thomas
