My new wheels finally arrived yesterday spent the whole afternoon trying to find some 8.3mm valve stems. Had to resort to buying them from ebay.

Spent the afternoon polishing the rims and put the dremel to the bolts. Also fitted the decals i made earlier.

I was debating getting them refinished as there are a couple of nicks hear and there.

17 X 8 ET 44 I think.

After having very nearly sold it to fund a jzx110 toyota I had my eye on, which thankfully sold, I decided to tidy up the grills. Painted with indasa plastic repair in signal black.

Only pic I have at the mo...



My mate also flatted & polished out 2 scratches on the doors so it looks less horrible.

Fitted a new cam follower at just short of 80k along with a new oil seal.  Follower had some wear so timely and the oil seal was passed it's best and allowing oil to weep past so all in a good job . Half an hour start to finish and I've got the banjo bolt fitting so very happy. :pomppomp:
