Project 244 GLT Turbo

[stribo]

Nice, they'll be a bitch to clean though.

i went with spacers and 850 fitment, much wider choice of wheels

could of had pegs lol

[Sweep]

Doesn't work for me I'm afraid

[dionbullock]

I feel that pegs are a too modern look, the 240 suits something with a dish, like the viragos that are on it. I looked at spacers plus wheels, the cost was just too much to justify. I may do one day, but these wheels, plus falken tyres were very reasonably priced for a new set.

[Saaamon]

I think that's an excellent wheel choice. What size are they?

i found that the 850 wheels were cheaper so as to offset the price of the spacers

old cars do look better with a dish though like mine lol

Theyre 17's with 7.5 wide rims, i really wanted the wider wheels, there was a 9' wide option, but a lot of arch work would have been needed

if i was you i would convert the front end to single round lights

I love the 242 245 with round light front end. If I find a decent one I'll buy and stick all the parts form the 940 in it.

[dionbullock]

I thought about converting to round headlights, its much more involved than one first realizes! A grill, headlights and bonnet is required, note the flat front bonnet on that early yellow 240, mine has a bulge in the middle, thats where my grill sits under.


Its possible, but a lot of work

Just ordered these for the 240! 17inch Lenso BSX in silver!

Wow they look nice cannot wait for the piccys

[T5frankie]

what about a nice 142? yum yum

The scuttle needs to be changed too, to do a proper job

They do look great though.

Those wheels will look epic on a 240!

Oh, love that 142 btw Frankie. Top bombing!

[dionbullock]

Those are awesome! ^^^

Not if you use the 1981 bonnet but that will not be easy to find

I'd be willing to bet my left knacker your Dad's got one knocking about though!!

Slight delay on the wheels, the courier they used are pretty much useless i'm sorry to say. Waited in last wednesday (expected delivery day), nothing, Thursday, nothing, got a card with attempted delivery with 5pm on it, phoned them to re arrange delivery for monday 17th, took a day off work n all, nothing came, waited in yesterday, nothing again!

Phoned them up today "Oh they have been returned to sender..." Jeez! And the consignment number had been changed, so I couldn't track it online.

Like my parents used to say... I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed.

[RollingThunder]

Disappointed? I'd be apoplectic !!!
