Heh.. got some small rust issues of my own, found a rust hole or two in the sills (I think they're called that - what you see when you open the door and step in?) .. Will be attacking it on the weekend!

Sure are the sills mate, I am sure you will get on top of it, get it now while its not too bad and will save you a lot of trouble later (says me who hasn't done mine)

Says me who let the old one rot away in the end.. lol.. Should be as simple as removing the plastics to get at the inside of it, right?

Where abouts is the rust, stick a pic or two on later

Dutch Calibra · « **Reply #46 on:** May 08, 2008, 10:51:22 AM »

Will do

Back to your project.. heh heh ..

Plans for wheels? How far are you spacing them? Mine are a few mm under legal "poke out" limit.. and they're not spaced!

Well looking at the arches I would say it is going to need a good 2" or more to look right

Dutch Calibra · « **Reply #48 on:** May 08, 2008, 10:54:31 AM »

Yikes.. how can you get it 2" out? Would that not mean it was off the hub??

Well, p34nut is the man for the job, nice to know! I would love to bring my wheels out a bit more.. it would look well mean. They're already slightly deep dish, so I think it would be awesome.. legal or not!

barrachops · « **Reply #54 on:** May 08, 2008, 11:40:24 AM »

Are 2" spacers safe?? what bolts do you use with spacers that thick??, the centric ones bolt to the hub then you bolt the wheel into thread on the centric hub spacer I belive??

So I decided to do something to the car yesterday so I fitted the rear bumper to the car which had the wide extentions fitted to it already when I got it which is when I discovered the nsr one was fitted wrong so it has had to come back off so that it can be re-fitted in the correct place to match up to the rear arch

Cheers Carl, I have been thinking about paint, (even though its a long way off with the time I am spending on it) what do people think to the main body in red, the roof in shiny black and the kit as in bumpers side skirts arches and bump strips in shiny black?..............here's a pic of Berny's if someone could photoshop it like that to give an idea of how it would look that would be great
