Bit cut and paste but here goes - 2008 to present

Take one diesel extra van, Spur of the moment ebay purchase

Dug out the old 1986 r11t lump out the garage that had been stored for many years. Rebuild?? i think not. if it ain't broke don't fix it. This is a pmt spec build.

Cracking post Mister !

 

[Brigsy]

Tried Kris M's coupe steels on - this was early 2011 iirc





Quite liked that look so bought a set


£250 for the rims
£288 for the 185/60/13 toyo r888's
£160 for blast and powdercoat
£48 for 4 new centrecaps (were supposed to be £6 each but once they were on order there was no going back!)
Total = £746, could have got a set bbs for this amount...
The powdercoating does look superb though, the pics don't do them justice, the finish is ultra sparkly


New centre caps

and fitted
