My new RX3 and restoration

[steve garbutt]

Steel wheels banded and painted like they used to in the 70\'s period upgrade ftw

BTW there is only 3 as they last one was still on the paint bench and wet, so i couldn\'t move it with the rest.

Nice they look good!

And there was me thinking you would be busy clearing the gravel from the under tray on the RX8 and polishing out the scratches yesterday, not finding the time to paint wheels.

The rx8 is Steves beater. The rx3 is his love child.

Looking good mate but stop messing around with how things look and get it running:)

Think the last half of the day on track got rid of most of the gravel but with it being stripped out you can hear every bit of dirt and stone chucked up by the wheels so im still driving round listening to the gravel that i collected from Brands Hatch :Giggle

As Grant says the RX8 is there for driving and driving hard :driving :evillaugh
Whereas the RX3 is there for me to look at and cruise down the the road listening to MW as it dosnt have FM haha :Giggle

[steve garbutt]

[Grant Monkhouse]

Pics or it didn\'t happen;) hopefully off work next week Steve so will arrange a day to come over and have a brew

Now that\'s something different for the wheels that will work well :Thumbs-up

Im hoping for them to still look oldschool

[steve garbutt]

A little update.
The Doors and panels are all bolted on and the the car is ready for the last coat of white primer for the base to go over, before we do the final wet flatting.
Then its on the colour goes
This is how it looked by the end of today.

It looks better now but Steve is being lazy and not posting pictures!

[Casey]

Steve, get your bloody camera out and get some pics up on here

[Brett]

I know, even Grant has posted an update with evidence rather than rhetoric for a change! :Giggle

[Grant Monkhouse]

I don\'t know what rhetoric means! But ROFL anyway:)
