Thanks David Coates @ MTI for ordering the wheels. If anyone wants Fikse wheels for anything you should give David a call.

Thanks for looking,
Craig.

Thanks guys I appreciate it!

And I really have to thank Joe (ex-SS-ve), he really helped out when I put the wheels, LCA's and panhard rod on. Would have taken me twice the time if he didn't help out. And thanks Joe for helping to get her cleaned up for the pics!


Peace,
Craig.

Looks damn good Craiger, I think Joe missed a spot on the lower passenger side quarter panel right in front of the wheel......
