    The 3 Door

    It's a work in progress, it need's loads of little bits needed doing to it but generally it's ok.

        The wheels were already on it, i'm not sure about them either! it needs a bit of bodywork, g/box is whining a bit, it's going in to be polybushed on thursday and being delocked at the same time, i'm then gonna get 2 new wings put on the front and have a few other scabs treated might even have the engine out when i do the gear box so i can tidy it up a bit.

        This is gonna become a long term project but need's to remain a runner most of the time

            If it was anything like mine they go on top of the wings and generally look a bit wonky

              Not sure about the wheel either, would look much nicer on a RS Turbo

              Let me know if you want to sell them please

                It looks nice in the pics mate. I kinda like the wheels as well.

                Need a good clean though

                  Re: The 3 Door

                  i was thinking about putting the wheels on my rst and visa versa but i've heard that the offsets are different?

                  The wings arn't too bad but i'm fussy, there's a small patch of bubbling rust round the n/s indicator and there rusting across the top's where they join the inner wing so i figured i might as well replace them as the cars gonna get painted anyway!

                  Billy, the car does need a good clean it was filthy in them photo's!!! still is now but it's a work in progress so it won't be all shiney untill it's nearly all finished!!

                  Fasterfords, the n/s rear wheel has a dent in it which i'm thinking about having repaired and if i do i'm going to get them all reconditioned, i'd like to see if the wheels i've got on the rst fit on ok as i bought them new and there still in really good condition, i can see this being one of those cars that's going to go through loads of set's of wheels un till i find some i like!! if the wheels on the rst fit ok and i prefer the look of them i'll give you a shout! time for a bit of photo editing i think!!
