Re: Wheels for a v6 mk1

Thanks guys I've been looking at jdm wheels but I don't think I'm going to get anything too blingy as Im too lazy to keep them nice and polished. What size rubber should I look at running as I reckon anything less than 205 wide dosent stand a chance also is it worth changing to a staggered set up

Wheels for a v6 mk1

Hi guys This weekend I bought a 1mz mk1 and I have to say I'm in love with it but there's a few things I really don't like firstly the wheels. It's on 17s at the moment with mixed rubber I want to go back to 15s or 16s but I'm wondering if a staggered set up would be better. What tyres are other v6 ...

A pair of oem pads are only £60 is it worth risking your insurance excess just to save a few quid

Re: How bad does this look compared to other mk2s

Thanks again for all your comments I know it doesn't look pretty as long as it does the job it's supposed to do I'm happy as I don't really want to spend too much on this car as I'm toying with the idea of getting a fresh import tubby as I don't ever want a rusty car again lol

Re: How bad does this look compared to other mk2s

Re: How bad does this look compared to other mk2s

Yea that's the way I'm trying to see it I've got enough sheet metal to do the repair three times over and I've picked up a decent second hand mig welder. Well the worst case scenario is I ruin a rusty mk2 n/a so I guess it's worth a go

Re: How bad does this look compared to other mk2s

The more I look at this car the worse it gets. I've just cut open the sills and found metal stuck to the original sill with around 4mm of filler on top. I Really don't want to give up on this car but I think it's seen 1 bodge too many http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn194/angpozzuto/C734A2BD-810B...

Re: How bad does this look compared to other mk2s

To be fair the bodywork is a bit rough all round and the Sills definitely need some attention but I'm not going to cut them open until I've sorted the arches out otherwise It might start to get a bit daunting. As for the mig welder I've only had it for a week and only got around to playing with it y...

How bad does this look compared to other mk2s

Hi guys I recently suspected that that my rear arches were looking a bit rusty so decided to spend an afternoon removing my rear bumper and I found this disaster waiting for me. http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn194/angpozzuto/5823EA7E-465C-4C40-B065-423F2574DE88_zpsjveguzci.jpg http://i304.photo...
