Keith came down today, we put the doors an and he gapped them so we have reference when we change the roof, hopefully in the next couple of weeks

Picked up a pair of 16x7 pursuit rims to fit VE with this offset I should be able to lose the wheel spacers and get the rims under the rear quarter without rolling and the 225 tyre.

Not an unusual offset for a Conformadore. A lot of the pre-VE stuff was +43P.
Cheers,

Seam sealed underneath and painted front to back, will take it off the rotis today and on to car stands so we can do the roof.

Mob I got the rims from are from your part of the world Clay they were really good to deal with, once I’m happy with the rear rims I’ll purchase rims for the front and maybe go 16x6
Anyway roof next then subchassis repairs.
Onwards and upwards

Thanks guys really appreciate the comments
being the amateur that I am here I was looking at the photo I posted a realised I hadn’t done a gearbox tunnel loop

I have bought some tyres off that mob. their prices and range are spot on especially for 13" stuff.
