Julian Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I'd be loathed to put that engine back in the car where it will get all dirty again, It would look nice sitting on the sideboard in the best room in the house!!

®evo03 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Surprising how wheel the wheels fit the arches, given the band added, goes to show how narrow the originals really are! Great work as usual. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam.in.head Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 absolutely fantastic build this one. as said paintwork looks perfect and attention to detail is great. if it were mine ( so ive got no place sticking my nose in realy !)i would have not used the daft wheel/tyre combo and gone standard rostyle( maybee even chromed spokes ?) but each to their own especially with cars like these. looks as good as new underneath too .well done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith will probably speak up later. He tells me the wheels currently fitted are only temporary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapierdave Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Would look great on the Campagnolas as i believe thats what was fitted as an option to the Cavalier Centaur convertables. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Pounsett Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I wasn’t a fan of those other wheels either.

cam.in.head Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 no offence was intended and hopefully none was taken. for me and for that particular car i would have gone standard rostyles. ( by standard i mean 5.5j with 185/70/13 tyres. everyone has their own ideas and its up to each what they do with their own car. i beleive in keeping things relatively standard or mods that would or could have been done at the time from gm.thats why i wouldnt dream of fitting a 5 speed box ,non gm engine,different wheels,steering wheel etc . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

®evo03 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Totally agree, regarding wheels, standard with your own twist, not everyone bands wheels, only retro folk, so its unique. And if you get bored of the look, there are plenty of other wide period wheels to slip on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

®evo03 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Perfect, like the rostyles, the way they should be, great choice, what width, any tyre sizes planned? Would chroming work on the rostyles? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

®evo03 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Wider wheels not only changes the look, it really transforms the feel, great choice banding the originals, and plenty or period wheels to choose from, and are not too expensive, tied with bilstein or avo shocks and lowering springs really hunkers the car down, and makes a great driver out of them. Plenty of tried and tested methods out there, and easy to experiment with. Ronal turbo alloys would look great, as pauls grey A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
