sooo after a long gap with no updates i have a couple.

I got my wheels back the day after I dropped them off from Horace over at Wheel and Rim Repair and I am extremely happy with the outcome. They aren't 100% perfect but they really can't get any better then they are considering the damage that was done. Once they get re powdered they should look much much better.







thanks to ricky (odyssey) for the pics)

And also purchased the first brand new part for the the build, sorry for the shitty pics, im no photog

so when they fixed your wheels they just grinded them down to where the messed up bits were no longer?

I am thinking they would have had to of welded a few areas and ground them down, since some of his gouges were pretty deep.

they did that to take care of the rash but also heated/straightened the bent areas (the front was pretty bent). the only thing they couldnt get perfect was where there was a bit of waviness in the real bad one.

the before pictures didnt really do the damage justice, the front was very rough and very bent.

they may have done some welding, there was def. some heat put on them one way or another judging by the heat marks around the repaired areas.

Finally stopped being a lazy ass and got a little bit done on the car today. I wanted to get the fluids drained, the radiator out, the exhaust off, and the drive shaft off.

I ended up doing everything but get the drive shaft out due to lack of daylight.
