alright Jay, a pickup for £100 is almost definatley going to be in terrible condition. They are the rarest out of saloons, vans and pickups, so £100 aint gonna get you a lot of mini for your money. There will probably be a hell of a lot of welding to do. my van was nearly £400, and its an absolute knacker.
To put 13x7s on, you will need to:
get wide wheel arches on
cut the arches to clear the wheels
get spacered drums on the back, and 8.4" discs on the front (not necessary, but its a whole lot better than drums. if the car is post 1985 it should have these brakes anyway, so you dont have to worry about that)
be prepared to for suspension stuff to wear out quicker
All that aside, they do look stonking good!

Just had a loooong hard chat with my dad and he whent up to see it i wasnt allowed to go as its a surprise for when i officially completed my first month at college.

He's told me its had ALL new inner and outer sills, new a panels? and new floor pan and that.. aparently its in pretty good condition, but as its my dads good friends, its like.. doing my dad and me a favour and itll be outta his shed, clearing for his rally car

So everyones a winner here!

Plus i plan to be keeping this for many years to come, eventually ready to have a R1 someday

So... No, not a complete shed


Many thanks for youre consern though!
