this is so cool i want a mightyboy!!

finally got a pic of the steering wheel; and test fitted my new rims to see how much guard work im gonna have to do, quite a bit! the current rims are 15x5.5 (which is huge already for this car) the new simmons b45's are 15x7, got an extra 1 & 1/4 " of rim out the guards. they will be fitted with the current 165x45 tyres with a bit of stretch win! im still stoked to have found those b45's in the correct offset/width/size/stud pattern to suit the car!

haha this thing is soo cool, great work so far man, cant wait to c it with the b45s

**** that looks rad as **** on B45's!

I can't believe I only just saw this thread. You are insane but this thing is friggin awesome!! Looks great man, can't believe the level you went to with the bay.

ha thanks, only thing is i have to wait untill my sheds finished before i can do any serious work. cant do shit atm in my mud puddle. im also undecided if im going to keep the wheels as they are, or paint the centres black. im going to be painting it soon in the same colour scheme. heres a couple of photochops; Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Silver all the way. I'd go a white bonnet though as well. White over black with black pinstripe/accents.

love the vt side indicators too!

im doing a initial d, ae86 paintjob for a laugh. ive even got the tofu shop stickers ready to go on, foglights etc haha Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

haha it all makes sense now.

Once you've done paint, wheels and turbo you should send it in to Zoom magazine!

this is amazing

Maybe you should do something like this? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

damn that looked better when it was matt black :P ive got another one that ill be building into an un-reg'd fun car ---------- Post added 04-09-10 at 17:21 ---------- Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i took a pair of my current wheels off today, and had the tyres fitted to the b45's for a test fit. muzz spec; i was pleasantly surprised to see how little work i actually have to do to get them to clear! i thought ide have to weld an extension to the guard for sure, but ill be able to get away with just hammering/smoothing whats there; same tyre, 165x45x15. left is on a 15x7" rim and the right is the current 15x5.5" Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thats hard core! flare the sh|t outta the front gaurds and a little bit on the rear, it will look insane! You might need to get a little bit machined off the font wheels tho by the looks of that haha.

that is so cool, im currently looking for one of these or a little scurry van lol

you never cease to amaze and inspire me for ideas on my mighty toy... I (L) U

semi finished the flaring this weekend, still need smoothing & filling but the shape is all there. ran out of time tonight, sux working outside, i want my shed up! next weekend ill finish them off; ive only got the stock 12's on the back, untill i get the other 2 tyres changed over tomorrow, looks really odd..
