Thanks - you're too kind. Too funny that your car's name is 'Olive' - when we bought the car/shell, it had one sun visor still in the car, when we took it off it had the word 'Olive' stamped into the sun visor - a weird coincidence or perhaps an optional extra - who knows.

Well for future reference the colour is from the current Volkswagen paint catalogue and it is called 'TAXI' - there was no number, just the name, so jot that down so that you it for when you're ready to paint.

Thanks again,
Trevor🙂.

Post all the VW Nationals excitement, the work continues, with the Airkewld Air Beam, (that is on the car), about to be hooked up to its' air compressor and tank etc.

The works never ends, but at least it's fun 🙂

After much debate, the Twists are heading to our new T25/T3 project and some interim wheels will go on over the weekend...

G'day Trevor, I have one of the 'discussed' wheels at my workshop if you wanted to loan it to work out your offsets etc (it's 17 x 7 with a 205 (from memory) tyre on it). Happy to send it down to you if you're cool to cover courier cost (have TNT account).
Cheers
Al

Temporary set of 17" Airevo's went on today so the saving for a set of Iozzio's can begin. Nice to see the wheel tuck under the front guard for once 🙂 Will pull the car outside tomorrow for better pics...

Agree, but they're only temporary. I popped these wheels on as they freebies. The Twists are one of my favorite wheels of all time. Watch this space.

Hold the phone!!!! They were freebie's? Man, thats some expensive alloys to give away. Can I have them when you're done with them? 🙂

I'm also a big fan of the Porsche twists. One of the best alloys Porsche has ever made bar the original Fuch 🙂

OK so a change of plan after the Twists went to the T3, we found out that they were too wide. SO the Airevo's are now on the T3 and the Twists have had a lick of paint applied. I think the darker wheel looks tough, well until I've saved up for a set of Iozzio's.
