Project 504

[rayray086]

Haha Louis, I'm thinking about it at the moment I'm trying to glue it and also fibreglass it back together!

As for the boser I have a second bonnet ready when the time comes though it is going on

Take a pic of the damage Steve, I may be able to help you out. I recently got myself a plastic welder (well, it's just a soldering iron with a flat blade tip!) and I've been pretty handy with it lately!

Ok fellas a small update I have with just a few parts now all coming down to the cosmetic part of things.

I have fixed my new thanks to Pierre (Fuzion) for sitting for hours glueing it and almost glueing himself to it aswell lol.



I also have my new smoked indictors and fogs looking super dooper! :] I will be putting them on after the car comes back out of paint.



This weekend I will have a few updates, installing new bonnet struts they will be going on, also taking wheels off and giving them a real good rubbing and sanding a tad to get them smoothed again.

Sorry for the super dooper fantastic crap pics but I did it really fast as I was in a rush yesterday for work.

Also going to be spraying the calipers a colour as I am not sure what colour I want them looking at Red but I am not sure. It will probably end up being black as you can't see anything over the 928's lol. Also spraying the adaprters black aswell( why not ) :]

Ray don't call them dinner plates I ain't fulisik lol

Secondly as much as I love these rims I want another couple of pairs of shoes.

What I really want are these Keskin KT4's 16x7.5 and 16x9 at the back with powdercoated centres



I found the little dude so I thought I'd put him in lol.

[rayray086]

They're ****ing sick! I thought the KT4's were 18"+ though. Are there any Aussie dealers for Keskin wheels?

Can't wait to see your new front end!

[DubSteve]

Me to Raymond lol, I don't think so there is anyone however I have enquired from dubmeister in the UK and have it was about $1300 just for the wheels plus shipping

[rayray086]

That's not too bad really. You could possibly get them to ship two shipments, one to you and another to a friend so the duties aren't so "taxing". I've heard Keskin are quality wheels, despite the fact that they make replica wheels.

I agree, looked at a few different wheels and these ones made me grin straight away, I was planning on doing the two ahipments, they will most likely come from the UK to which I think that there is tax that you also have to pay not quite sure

I have also heard that they make replica wheels which almost put me off them, however after hearing some good comments from other dub users and looked at them first hand I was quite happy with the manufacturing quality! My only problem is that how will a stretch tyre go with taking the car through spirited drives through the National Park and Wisemans ferry so to speak

[MattyT]

I cant see how a stretched tire would be anything but un-performance like.

[Tim]

so long as the stretch isnt crazy it can actually increase sidewall stiffness. Obviously sidewall stiffness can reduce comfort.

It all just depends though i guess. If u stretch a lot then maybe that can adversely effect the tyres contact patch?

I reckon big stretch looks a bit dumb anyways though.
