Rolling radius is almost identical on 10's to 13's, band the Wellers to 7" and drop the tyre pressure to 25psi with 032's - loads-a-grip.

 

:D

Not much to report of late just trying to get the back end done so it can be a full rolling chassis again.

Painted the rear subby in 2k black and did it with a brush turned out the nuts and the paint is rock solid then painted and fitted the trunions with new poly bushes and stainless fittings

Next I got one side of the rear end fully de-bumpered it looks a mess at the minute but will be ok

Will get the other side done tomorrow then arches and one rear quarter with repairs to the other then the welding will be done and I won't be using such a rotten shell in a hurry lol

Cheers Darren

Fine looking frame you have there, fella.
