damn that looks sweet with the wellers.
are there any probs with the side door opening?

[AndyJ2506]

haven't tried it yet I'll let you know later

[Luke]

looking well

what size are the tyres and are the fronts ok with the arches or is there any overlap yalso you dont know the ET and Width of the wheels do you

[AndyJ2506]

Tyres are 215 65 16 as i wanted really chunky tyres as i like the look and nope the side door doesn't open but i've got other plans for that anyways and the tyres stick out further than the front arches but i have plans for front and back arches aswell so that'll get sorted later
not sure on offset of wheels to be honest

[Luke]

i'm getting another door catch (the bit that fits into the slider) i'm gonna have a go at modding it so the back of the door sticks out further when it opens, as i'm anticipating problems with mine i'd be interested in how you do it the easy way is to pack out the slider

Nope the plan was to cut the door in half and have it oppening suicide style so the back half will be welded up. We'll have to see how that one goes tho

[Luke]

thats another one i fancied having a go at was twin doors i thought about 2 crew cab doors but they arnt half a full door so they'd proberbly have to be 2 full doors shortned and hinged a lot of work tho

this sort of thing - a lot of the early yanks have them

[AndyJ2506]

I like that but the plan was just to have one smaller door and i might do the same the other side later as its a crew cab now i'll just have to wait and see how brave i'm feeling and one day i'll just start cutting it up

Rims look good and 15's fill the arch shape better than 14's, did you replace the plastic bolts?

[AndyJ2506]
