After fitting the front end back on with the JDM lights, I was never happy with the fit so I decided to take the whole lot back off.
This was to do two things.
1. make it all fit neat and crap
2. Take car of any small scabs etc on the panels to stop any rust ever spreading in the future.
There by no meens bad but we all knowhow these old Toyotas like to rust away before our eyes!
finshed!
Also fitted the backing plate on the front of the engine behind the cam gears as the new loom will be running behind it!
Also, I decided that 8j are too wide for me at the front with the Negative Roll Centre Adjusters so I am sellimg my Works wheels.
Now I have these for the rear... Volks Mesh 14x8-10...
and I wanted some matching 14x7 to go with em. So looking on Yahoo, I ended up with....
I was sick of the std arches fouling the 14x8j rims at the back so I thought it was time to take action!
Big tools in hand:
1x house brick wrapped in a towel
1x pair of pliers
1x big frick off hammer
I do own a propper arch roller BUT as my car is gay, the arch roller will no go small enough for my tiy arch wells so it useless for me!
Anyway
set about and started off with this....
As you can see, it don't fit, and 14x8j -8 are not bolt on for the KE but....
a bit of tap tap tap, and pull pull pull produced....
I used pliers to start the flare off in the direction I wanted the flat part of the lip to go. Worked prety good.
looked good but was still not cutting it for clearence. Sure it would of been ok if I mad it a bit higher but once you go this deep, there is no urning back!
so, I found a bigger, better hammer, and really went for it...
I know its not pretty and some of it looks a little 'dented' but thats what filler is for.
Also fitted my recaro reclining seat and just bought a Border harness aswell ready for when it on the road and to keep my fat ass in place
.
cheers
