Hi all
Started a 'light' refurb process recently. Plan was to see what the bubbling paint on front wings was. Car had a full body kit which wasn't great but saveable so needed to be investigated. Front wing bubble was filler over rust. Rear skirt hid poor fitting issues. Long story short rh side of body kit in the bin, rear and front skirts sane place, rh front wing and a panel now off, needs new front quarter repair, inner wing repair.... (will post build pics soon).
I've now decided to Ditch the 13" minilites with hardly worn Yokohama tyres (could be ultralights haven't checked) in favour of 10" all round. I know I need to change front brakes etc. As it was originally a Mayfair on 12's. I have a 12" spare so can refit one side but, at some point, need to do other side. Anyone near (ish) Hungerford or Newbury have 12" wheel or wheels with tyre (can be bald so long as it holds air I can borrow or buy cheaply. Long term I'll go for nice 10" mamba or revolution 10" alloys but ebay loonies want over £150 for a set of 12" wheels I ultimately don't want. Any help greatly appreciated
Alan
