wear those latex gloves then so your hands stay clean:p meh i cant talk about mess inside my dash is half off all my ice hangin out and cables floating everywhere i even have a set of ramps and a new box in the boot;)
 
I also thought that was an inch too large - mine are 195/45 but 15", and my speedometer is spot-on (tyres very close to wheelarches!)

But thinking about it, I guess the width/offset is more important than the diameter (wheelarches can be modified, the position of the gearbox can't ;))

16" is gonna look SOOOO big on an Uno - can't wait to see :)

lol :D
Not much work to make them fit really, need spacers on the front and the rear has had some mods ;) inside the arch has been modified to fit the wider wheels, and the trailing arm has had sections out of each side and then a flat piece of steel welded back in its place :)
 
Sheesh, I don't know - you posted on our project thread: "Wish i had the time and dedication you have, oh and the skills would help too" - but just look at your list of mods plus the time that you've put into your project - this thread started in 2006 :eek: - your baby looks 'well smart' as they say over there (y) and then...

lol :D

... I rest my case. If those aren't skills, I don't know what are. If I welded the trailing arm, it'd pop apart by the end of the street! :D

Keep us updated on your project, I love reading these threads (Dunc's was the original mega-thread, I decided to do one because I thought mine would only run for a couple of months...)

Cheers alex, but my dad does the welding :eek:
Ive done everything else though :D I got the car when i was 15 :p and didnt do much to it tbh.
I got it off axle stands today, front wheels need one more coat and then laquer and the rears need sanding and spraying still :mad:
Gave it a wash first time in about 4/5 months, thought id deserved it at least.
Will try and get high res image tomorrow(y)

The car is looking nice mate. Do you not have any turbo side skirts to go on? If not I think you should paint that area beneath the door in black where the sideskirt should sit, i'm pretty sure it was black and galvanised on my uno before i fitted a kit to it, would blend in better with the arches and bumpers imo

:cool: F R O $ T Y
