Tantalizing... You've made some great progress and the inner wings are looking good. I reckon you'll be dancing around the garage the day the wheels arrive!
Like a whirling dervish perhaps?

Re: P6 V8 project: Alloy wheels fitted! time for bodywork
As requested! There on! I love em 8) 8) a tad wider than expexted but I can live with it :wink: 7x15 is the smallest width available in the style but its what I wanted! bit of fettling on both rear wing arch lips, I can hear you all thinking..Jesus its a tight in there! so far no rubbing on the D-posts, may do a bit more modifiying to make sure though.
So there you go, love em, hate em or not sure but hey its different! At least it detracts from the rust free but mulicoloured wings Ive just fitted! Hopefully have a some spare cash for paint!

Re: P6 V8 project: Alloy wheels fitted! time for bodywork
I like the look! But the paint job is going to have to be something special to set them off. The violent metallic orange /bronze of that custom P6 in Australia would suit....
Make very sure you've really earholed it around a few roundabouts with several sacks of potatoes in the boot before you pronounce the clearance issues resolved at the back!

Re: P6 V8 project: Alloy wheels fitted! time for bodywork
Nah... they look rubbish, I'll do you a favour and take them off your hands for you though :wink:
In all seriousness, they look cracking, hope they spur you on that extra bit to get the car finished (not that you've been hanging about anyway!). Can't wait to see it all done now.

Awesome indeed!
I'm really looking forward to seeing your car blossom
I'd go with a deep dark colour personally, like a midnight blue for example- i'm sure there's a good camaro colour actually!..yes there is

How's the new road handling?
