i love the wheel & tyre combo.... are they 13's or 14's...

will the wagon be at ratrod day...

thanks for sharing, as its very motivational...
matty martin

looks to be about the same, roughly about 60-70mm off the deck

i'm sure the van is lower, front guard is well over the tyre on the van even though it has 14's they are lower tyres, on the wagon the guard is just on the tyre, the wagon has a king pin front the van had ball joint with H/KTG brakes which gives a 1" drop, so i'de say the van is about an 1" lower in front and prolly the same 1" lower in the rear
wagon has 13" wheels/tyres
colour's gunna change yet matty
not that yors doesn't look great and will be worth it matty, you'de prolly be driving it now if you weren't talked/or scared into doing shinney paint instead of flat/satin like yor original plan
not sure about rat day yet starting to look like i will

thanks
matty martin

mrs ratbox · Post by **mrs ratbox** » Mon Aug 25, 2008 1:44 pm

matty they're just stock hubcaps with a chrome bullet bolted through the middle, there's been a couple of cars on here with them, i think they would've looked better on EJ/EH caps but didn't have any

They look perfectly suited to the wagon Mick especially with the suede finish. Chrome/white against suede paint always works well. There are some really cool cars being built on this forum!

Its a neat little mod for alot of caps, but dog dish ones seem to lend themselves better. Maiki has a similar set which were once my old caps he just added the bullets.

Dont paint those repairs Rat.

Looks like youve driven through the security gates at Check point Charlie.
And kept going.................................
Now it looks like a classic gangster mobile. Beware on those men in dark suits knocking on ya door.
