Good old 14" ROH Bathurst Globes.
6" front, 7" rear with fat tyres for the gasser look :tu:


tar76 - March 17th, 2012 at 05:06 PM

Going to retire the globes and put it back to 5 wide. I'm no computer whiz and was wondering how i can photoshop a set of balck raiders on bud pic. tried bugselecta but no black raiders just silver.


tar76 - March 28th, 2012 at 06:30 PM

Update on Bud, gun metal grey raider mags have been deliveried (cheers H) and have been keeping Matt and Col busy getting it up to scratch. This bug has been a real surprise package and has throwen a few curve balls which i'm lucky to have those two boyz up at Cooroy to smack those curve balls out of the park!


tar76 - April 7th, 2012 at 01:17 PM

My bad found it's a 63


Dasdubber - April 7th, 2012 at 07:42 PM

Hey mate, wheels look sweet - good to see Matt and Col squeezed those 215/65's unded the rear arches!

matberry - April 19th, 2012 at 04:02 PM

That's the lower hinge screw cover, the top one looks sweet. You will get aquainted with all these little area's soon enough. :)

tar76 - April 19th, 2012 at 04:23 PM

And that has the aussie logo....Yep brought some black n gold tooth brushes and warm soapy water and let the fun begin. I'm glad i went with the twins as it looks heaps better than the single carb. Few stickers on the fan housing, bit of gibbs on the magnesium and he'll look the goods. might have to give that top pulley a bit of fresh paint or can i powder coat it?? Mate if that mudflap happens to get caught on something and rips off i won't mind ;).

P.s. You didn't answer my question about being too attached :smilegrin:
