So my latest build is a '75 Appearance Group car.
Car is currently in the body shop being stripped to bare metal. Motor and tranny were just rebuilt... going for a retro look. Rivs, Porsche negative side stripe, Monza exhaust, Vittaloni mirrors and a few interior items to keep it '70s (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) got a load of stuff from MikeK (914magazine) today. 4 very nice Rivs 2.0L heat exchangers with associated heater stuff Monza exhaust 2.0L muffler hanger Koni front struts spare trigger points Custom pedal board original grain vinyl for the sail panels and targa bar here are some pics of the stuff. first pic is one of the heater tubes media blasted second pic is tube final product. entire exhaust system will be done the same. Pic of one of the Rivs I did a quick polish with power ball and aluminum polish.. black paint on the Rivs is perfect, just needs to be cleaned and waxed. here are a couple of pics of stuff that will be media blasted by myself tomorrow and then painted by me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The point of this car is to build a daily driver that looks period correct, and to be a PAX weapon in the GGR AX series. Even with a very moderate suspension package I will be in AX 16 which will give me a very nice multiplication factor for TTOD.

got my wheels back from the polisher and had my new Dunny Direzza star specs mounted... all four look just like this...they will look really nice with the new billet center caps. car should be ready for reassembly tomorrow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) bling alert (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) Attached image(s)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I was talking to another guy over the weekend who said that his didn't fit right off, but were the ISPwest ones for that wheel!!?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Having just gone through the frigging "slightly clearancing" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) 54 mm to 56 mm ID & -1.5 mm OD - on a set of center caps supposedly specifically made to fit the OE Vanagon Alloy Wheels for my Westy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I'm beginning to wonder if any of these aftermarket guys can get anything right! Maybe I'm to old school, I pay the bucks for the specific part/application - & just expect it to fit! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) The wheels look great BTW!
