Another set of wheels

Featured Replies

Here's the latest project... might see the polo, might not... yet to decide.

Just bought them because I seen the potential, they've been polished by mike the polisher before, but I took them home and my dad's comment was "who the fuck's polished these?!"

Couple pics... some more tomorrow when I actually get on with them.

The two 8j's are "polished" and the two 7j's are standard finish.

It's a joint venture and it wouldn't be fair for me to take all the credit. My dad's been working with metal since he was 14, he's going to be doing alot of work on them with me :) I'll take progress pics along the way and maybe provide a step by step of the process.

My dad reckons he'll get decent results though, here's a pic of his bike engine casing that he's polished.

:) Hopefully i'll get them all fully polished and looking MINT :)

i take it they have been owned and looked after by someone else after mike polished because mike and Daz wouldnt let them leave the workshop if they looked like that. There quality of work is very high.

Polo's going soon though, so they'd only be on for a short while.

The wheels are shiny, they've just not been corrected properly.
