Charlie - Mini Mk3
|
Well, all four wheels are now polished and assembled. I just need to get the bolts torqued up to spec and I'm sorted. I did, however,manage to snap the head off of one bolt - I didn't put it under much strain, so I think it was weak from the beginning (didn't have a problem with any of the other ones) :

Really came out looking good, now all you need to do is package them up and send them up to me for safe keeping.

Pity about the stripped/broken parts.
Happens to all of us (read as me) quite often.

This will be the last update on these rims until tyres are attached - promise.
I decided to replace all the allen bolts, rather than just the one snapped one - better safe than sorry : ![]() ![]()

So this will be the last update on the wheels until they arrive on my doorstep and I begin to write about them instead
![]() On a side note, they've come out looking amazing, another testament to your ongoing hard work to getting Charlie looking like a real one of a kind stunner in SA. ![]() ![]() 1979 GTS

Jared at the rate you're going you only going to be allowed to put this car on a trailer if you want to take it anywhere.
