Just read the whole thread. Such skilled work. inspiring!

One question, what do you use when you are grinding back the old paint? It looks so accurate and kind to the metal, probably ust your skills, but wondering if you had any advice?

Thanks, I just use 80grit on a DA sander, you just need to keep it flat and it works well.

Very sweet Peter, are they the same pcd or have they been modified apart from the banding??

Same PCD! the only downside is that they have much bigger hubcaps, which makes removing them very difficult now that they have a bit of dish! I've made a tool for taking them off, so not so bad now.

Looking Great Pete,nearly got a set of 6x12 imp steels, but the offset meant that id be needing a hell of alot of arch trimming lol

What will you be doing with the d1's when you fit the banded steels?
