Zebedee,
 
The wheels are 15" compomotive split rims with bespoke spinners made up to clear the hubs - bought off fleabay and refurbed - havent seen another set so far.....Wink!
 
 
Also, couple of pics of all the brown/wooden/shiney crap I stuck in the cab over the weekend!
 
 
 
(TIP -  you may need to stand about 4 mtrs back from your pc to fully appreciate the pics.....wasnt sure how to crop....Embarrassed)

Hi, nice topic, here's mine.
Bluestar with Reimo roof, porsche brakes and Sti engine, my dream car (but i'am into cheetah or gipsy if someone wants to tradeSmile)
This picture was taken 5 days before Bug Run 2010, thats why the other bluestar was still heavily under work. our ratataksi did not made it, new engine was missing fuel rails and engine harnes.

I have broken my pop top Cry

Forgot to close latches which hold it down and when I got to about 50mph the front lifted up with a bang and ripped the canvas from the roof. Lucky the whole thing didn't take off.

Have managed a temporary repair with gaffer tape, but next project is to fix it proper.

Anyone know where to buy suitable material ?
