	They are finally on!! The wheels I mean ;D Ive been doing a fair bit of work to the little KE over the last few weeks and its really taking shape now!! Some of the grey stonechip on the doors is now white, the rubber door trims are now off and the wheels have now had a bit of a referb by myself! They are now on the car as from today with a lovely set of Yoko boots Next on the list is to get rid of the rest of the grey curse word, sort out the rusty bits on the arches and get the thing slammed!! The project is slowly ongoing but heres some pics I took over the last few weeks and today............ Enjoy............. Wheel Referb: Finally On The Car :-) :

	That'll look cool slammed Good feeling when you do the wheels yourself and they turn out so nice.
	If only everything in life was as cool as a retro VW racer.

	Thats excellent, I see the body shop did the rear arches too, did you get it all on the insurance claim? Will look even better when it gets that drop.

I havent really touched the rear arches, they have always been fairly good! Justy filled a few little holes myself and a bit of paint did wonders!! They are gonna be rolled soon by a bodyshop and painted properly ready for my new wheels to go on!! As she was my neighbour she agreed to pay the repair bill in cash and I added a few bits like the front lip[ spoiler myself!! Job done!! ;D

	UPDATE!!! Ive done a few little bits to my KE in the last few months but the big stuff will come soon enough!! I thought I'd just keep you informed on how I'm getting on......... First off Ive got myself some pressed aluminuim No. plates which I think suit the car much better............ Thanks to a lot of help from a mate, my car has now had the full polish that its always derserved from the day I got it!! ;D We used the Meguires 3 stage polish (cleaner/polish/wax) and it came up the best ive ever had it!! Heres a few pics during and after with his Celica.............. And Ive bought something else for it!! I now have a contact in Japan that I can buy from the auctions on Yahoo so I thought I'd try it out!! (Cheers uselessbug for the nod on that!! ;D) I bought these little things..................... Which when fitted to the car looks like this........... And I couldnt resist throwing this in the box too!!............. I'm currently trying to sell another car (Megane) to pay for my suspension and then get my new toys on.......... This is the only clue your getting for now!! .................. Watch this space!!!! ;D
