Title: My new wheels Post by: mick131 on September 15, 2008, 05:46:59 PM Bought some wheels a while ago off ebay. They are BWA alloys, 8 x 15".
Picked them up at Gaydon yesterday from an Alfa 155 owner who had very kindly offered to pick them up for me. Personally, I think they suite the style of the car pretty well? ;D...but what do you guys think ??.?

or at least get a price for some, as that might put you off straight away! :o :D :D They look alright to me though. Looks like your 131 might be ready for 3MA09 Mick - just a lick of paint and she'll be good as new - probably better! Keep up the momentum mate - she's looking good. 8) Title: Re: My new wheels Post by: kev131 on September 16, 2008, 11:11:21 AM I agree with Simon Mick - I didnt realise you had made such progress - Is that a new door skin...?
Like the wheels too - Its difficult to get suitable wheels for replicas if you dont want the expense of the original style. ??? Title: Re: My new wheels Post by: mick131 on September 16, 2008, 01:22:08 PM Thanks for the comments chaps ;D.
There has been a little that's been done recently but not as much as it seems ::). The rear suspension should be finished in the next month or so ( bar the coilovers and brakes ). That was always going to be time consuming. I've got a list, of the top of my head, which is as follows:- 1) I have to sell the Jeep first to finance the dipping. 2) It needs the bodykit fitting and then it needs painting. 3) Front suspension to sort out ( not a major issue ). 4) Engine and blower rebuild. 5) Wiring loom installing ( not looking forward to this at all ::) ). 6) Windows to sort out. 7) Tyres ( GULP... :o :o :o ) 8) Suspension alignment. That's not as much as I have already done but still a fair old amount of work. I've actually said to a good friend of mine that, come the day I'm too senile to drive ( that could anyday now >:( ), I'll pass the car onto his son ( my godson ). The little chap will probaly get more use out of it than I will !!. Kev - that doorskins an old one, must be the light when the pic was taken.

They look exactly like the ones on the Lancia don't they !!. Title: Re: My new wheels Post by: Gremlino on September 17, 2008, 06:53:25 PM Yes Mick,
The Fulvias rims are a bit narrower, I saw no markings on them.....are there any makers name or other marks on the ones you bought? The ones on the 031 are campags but looked a bit like yours. |
