When I fitted alloys to my 360's I just roughly spayed the drums with some black matt spraypaint, seemed to last fine!

Not a huge fan of the stickarz (although that's nothing personal...I generally dislike all applications of the prancing moose) or the lights...but everything else.....it's a big bag of BOOYAH! :D Loving the rims in particular.

cheers

then possibly putting a 16 valve in.
with POSSIBLY in capital letters, as it would be a great crime to take the 1.4 out.
Its barely run in, and you could really eat your dinner off it.

By The Power Of Grayskull!
Well, actually it was:
By The Power Of Dremmel-Uttilising-Boss-Adaptation/Fabrication-Genius Filthyjohn!

But by this higher, mightier power, far in excess of mere Greyskull Power, the wheel has duely been fitted.

And its Kickass.

Thats right, Kickass.

Feels like a velvety velvet mole, and has got more dish than a nineteen seventies saucy piece of crumpet.
If youre over six foot, you HAVE to get one of these.
Improves driving position by one million percent. We measured it with Johns fancy digital dividers, and it was almost an exact one million percent improvment.
Anyway, heres some pics.
Try not to fondle/cup yourself as you bask in their awsome radience.

Well Will, its a Peg-jip 205 momo boss. with the following alts:
The alluminium indicator canceller dremmeled off.
The horn ring/indicator self cancelor from the stock volvo wheel filed out with said dremmel from the centre to give a tight push fit over the end of the 205 boss. (we were gonna glue it, but Johns digital eyes got it down to a 1000th of a milimeter perfect push fit).
Had to extend the wires for the horn using the stock volvo horn wires.

Push on, Bolt up.

Done.

sounds easy, but it did take some doing.
