tiny update..
wheels blasted, coated in zinger, zinc powder coated, then topcoat powder coated.. hopefully this will seal the bands and stop air leaks..
not finished tho, going to wet paint the faces as the 'weld' lines are still visable, was thinking about painting the bands only in the van colour?..
tyres ordered..
next up, 4 x arch panels to see if I can lose the wheels some how
