Yes mate, I managed to get 5 out and had to take the wheels to an engineering company, spoke to them today and they can't get the rest out so are going to drill and tap them.
And so it begins again

My son-in-law works from Louth these days mate, I'll ask him if he's likely to get into Grimsby and can drop them off. If not PM me address and I will post 'em.

Next time, in the near future definitely pop in.
I painted the Chrome surrounds today and just had to try them in place, much better, I only put the badge on for effect as its the boot one and too small
It looks totally amazing so far and I'm sure once complete will be really unique.
1 x question from a numpty - what colour will the engine bay be? If you started out with a blue car and have not taken the engine out.
Cannot wait to see the finished car.

Everything on the underside and under the wheel arches has been done in a grey stone guard as to keep it neutral, I will be painting the engine bay in a similar colour,
Are you sticking with the original blue and white badges mate? Jeeze, that looks amazing.

wheels/tyres on the wrong way round?
Steady on pal, they are just rollers until the main set goes on
Thanks pal, the engine bay is going to be grey with coloured slam panel
alright.... just checking....Steady on pal, they are just rollers until the main set goes on
but they could have rolled them to the correct side in the mean time
To be honest I never even considered it when I put them onalright.... just checking....
Nice contrast Sean, are you going to do the slats body colour or use black slats with the chrome leading edge?
A bone of contention seeing as you raised it, I prepped them and thought to myself maybe I should have left the chrome fronts but alas it was to late so they are now satin
Well if you change your mind I suppose you can do a swap with someone or maybe chemically strip the paint without destroying the plastic, but more than likely you’ve got it right first time. I can wait till see it on the wheels your doing to see how it all matches up.
