Had a little play with wheel combinations today.
The chrome Volts are now on the wagon
Image
The Lane has gone back to grandpa spec.......can anyone say "sleeper" :mrgreen:
Image
and these will be getting sold off to contribute $$ to new rims for the Lane. Not sure if I will go with the cobra copies as in the sig pic or try something else :?
Image
The old lane stockies were being stored on concrete down the back shed, the one on the bottom had some weird crystalised crap growing on it :shock:
Image
Image
not sure what it is, there is no way any bug could get in there, as the rims are machined flat faced with no openings and the tyres created a seal at the concrete........any idea's :?:

Now that you mention it, the DC has something similar all over the alloy components in the engine bay, just not large crystals like the rims have......hmmmm, has me puzzled though :roll:

I can never look at a cardinal red e series too many times, it's one of the best colours I think.

Also some EL tail lights will make your wagon look a heap better 8-)

Lovin' the pit there Mick, you lucky bastard!

Your wheels look like they contracted the same disease mine did. Can't get rid of the s**t.
Must be the damp/wet? It came up all over my Boyd's within about 3 weeks after i got them and did a fair bit of damage to them.


So now you have the stockies on for the sleeper look......when's the manual box going in? :P

They have the clear indicator panels right?
Not spending any more money on the wagon ATM, I'm not very happy with it right now :evil: Sitting down the back and the missus is back to driving the grandpa spec fairlane around for now........got some electrical issues to sort out this weekend :roll:
