    Anyone running 15" JBW Foosh wheels on a bay

    I am really keen for some Fuch style wheels for the earlybay, it's a 1970 on wide 5's, it currently runs on the 356 replicas, and clearance is tight, more so on one side. I have seen these wheels on the site as very few do them in a 205 fitment, they are 4.5x5, 5x205 with a offset of +20. How do...

    Tyres / Stance Thread - Lets see what ya runnin!

    I finally got my whitewalls on after a lot of messing around, still very tight on rear at petrol filler side, so need to find a solution to that really. Now I'm not happy with the ride height, so do I need a narrow beam and a different way of lowering. Whats the best option?

    German quality stainless steel Westflia style 3bow roof rack

    This rack is as new, it was built by myself earlier this year but has never been used due to garage clearance issues. So I have decided to sell this. It's obviously a great looking quality rack and is currently full built so collection would be best from York. If somebody was happy to pay for...

    Project Beryl, 1970 tintop resto

    So I have been on with a few bits recently, I finished off all the interior panels, and carpeted the boot. Looks neat, but other than that it's probably a bit over the top. Then added some LED stripping under the dash, looks cool and wanted to have a missile switch on the dash. The kids love...
