Mate of mine had one of these.Fitted with a cam and twin 40 dellorto's Went really well.

Best all round wheels would be 16"x9" Borbet A's with a et15 offset.

100% agree, borbets look sooo good, along with BBS, Turbos.. pretty much all the deep dished wheels

its offset which cripples me, u try driving it with ET35s its bad enough

That blue one has a turbo engine in it hasn't it? Think it's being restored again currently.

also started doing some sill work, after a bodgy job before.... rest off the sill is mint which was a relief

I'm going to remake the arch as its only really the lower half thats rusty and I don't want to cut too much steel away
