Engine bay looks spot on. Shame You took the Origonal wheels Off as they are very old school.

Excellent work, well done on the effort - many would shy away. Has a nice OEM look about it.

Cheers mate. There 16" bbs from a saab 900 talladega. They werent my first choice but i had them lying around and when i changed hubs i needed some 5 stud wheels. Iv got some 16" 5spoke saab wheels to try on, see which look better.

Due to some devastating horrific circumstances I can't get to the other wheels to try them. But I do have a set of 17" Saab wheels. I'll post a pic of them for you to compare

The tyres could do with being smaller. Maybe 205 instead of 215.
Not sure which I prefer :scratch

What size tyres are those? Looks good on them.
Still on my 16" as I need smaller tyres with the 17" with how low it is at front.
Mixed reviews! Most of my mates prefer the 16's cos it looks more sleeper spec.

Thanks for the positive comments too guys.
BUT I have being contemplating selling it on and doing another or just save the cash as funds are low. But then again its too clean for me to let it go.

Hardest part is making it look like its meant to be there really. Wirings abit of a pain but you can get a loom made by a guy from Migweb.
