G43 NYC bis project
« on: February 10, 2014, 06:42:21 PM »
bought my bis just before christmas, getting it ready for when i pass my test in may. after debating whether to get an aircooled or a watercooled i decided a watercooled would be more practical for the tailgate etc. after sourcing early bumpers, steering wheel, & other bits i decided i wanted to go for the early look, still looking for wheels etc so would be interested if anyones got anything laying about or up for swaps as ive got a few bis parts, cheers jud

Are you implying that Jud may have, well, stolen those wheels by any chance?  ;)

 Looking good. It`s so much better with the early mirrors and the chrome bumpers.
 So what sort of wheels are you after? Some old school alloys, steelies?

Hi Jud , looks like a nice little motor there & good luck with that test in May  :D
If you can get hold of old Panda or Uno steelies then you can use something like 155 / 65 tyres on the 13" rims. It also keeps your options open for an economical disc brake upgrade which would be a lot more expensive with 12" rims.
