ZROSSA Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Not really. Been pruning the vinyard and the weather has been pretty good so no rainy days off. Talked to the guy who is helping with the bodywork last night so kind of remotivated him a bit. Also decided to go with coil overs and camber plates all round so had to undo some things to make them fit. Getting remotivated though. Bought a new-old toy,BMW635csi with i would like to play with as well. Wife says I have to finish the other projects first so getting people and jobs line up to finish it. Still having a hell of a time getting my machinest to finish things like the hubs and brakes. Going to have to stick a rocket up his arse big time!

ragefear Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 bahahahaha! i was hoping you were kidding! that was kinda gross! I just figured you would drill thru the old paint then get a new paint job, tho if the existing paint is fine then there is really no point I see where you are coming from How hard is it to see thru the mirrors on the fenders? Looks like it would be a pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you find a deal like that, I am heading to the junk yard tomorrow to try and find some wheels, would someone be so kind to let me know what other vintage cars have the same lug pattern as my 74 260 2+2? I really appreciate your help. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Id just search for 4x114.3, Im sure you could find a list of all the different cars. I found mine on a datsun in oregon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustyfriend Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 what i did while looking for a donut wheel is i made a template of the pattern out of wood. drilled the holes out to meet the exact bolt pattern of the wheel. so going to the yard and looking for a wheel was a simple as holding the pattern up to the wheel i was looking at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
