tyre fryer: sidewall of the tyres smack radius rod badly,14 in rim touches top ball joint too.You'd need a really thick spacer & that wouldn't be safe imo.
dickie: Pm me your mobile number & I'll send you the pics off my mobile of all the wheels I've put on it.My digital camera is stuffed.
I'll work something out.

Just got made permanent at work,go onto a roster & looks like I'll get more time off to do things..bit of a paycut,extra time off makes up for it!
Just got back from engine builder,the big banger 355 is getting there..4 bolt conversion done...tunnel boring/machining & balancing soon after the engine builder finishes off 2 other engines.Top end is done although he wants to go the new torque-power maniflod(haven't seen one yet).LOL..he is keen to finish it off & not have all my parts n crap there..I'm not in no real hurry & just want it done once & done right.
Can't thank him enough for all the advice & amount of hours he has put into this engine.
Bad news!!!
I'm broke as fark paying off the house as quickly as I can,not really a bad thing though.
The gtr is shitting me with the front brakes & lack of funds to do anything significant to it...got next week off so I'll try to work on it more between doing stuff on the house/backyard lol.

Short story:Race motor/parts got stolen & torrie got damaged in storage...can barely look at it let alone take pics of it.
Untill find someone I trust to properly repair/paint it the rolling shell will stay hidden in garage.
