    Is this bus raised or are the wheels smaller?

    Hi, have this pic in my collection for a while but never saw this bus (yes it's a late bay :oops: ) anywhere. Must be a US or Aussie bus judging by the background. In my mind I want a baja bus but not really raised too much (wanna be able to get it in my garage) I just like the stance and...

    Do you have to roll your arches for any other wheels?

    Hi guys, just noticed lately that it seems that everyone who fitted aftermarket wheels has had to roll the arches... Is this the fact with all alloys or just Porsche wheels? Merc wheels seem to go on pretty straight away? Maybe we could make this a sticky with people who show their wheels and...

    Hi guys, been thinking about this for a while, I can't make up my mind about how I'd approach this job. The sanblaster did the whole inside of the vents (didn't ask) when the trays were out and I didn't notice untill after putting back the trays. All tips are welcome.
