15" on the Coupe NICE!!!!, whats the offset like and also shock clearence, any chance of a pic looking at the inside wheel arch view, i.e. showing the clearences. I was too looking at getting Compmotive to supply my wheels and I too wanted to go bigger than 13"

The stud pattern is the same as the Rover 100, gti, 16v, 1.4 K series I think that its 96 or 94mm pcd I'll have to check on the offset :roll: :roll:

I'll dig it out, and post back later with the offset :mrgreen:

The rolling radius isn't far out from a normal 13 inch fitment for the Coupe :wink:

I made up the column gaiter using a universal CV boot which I removed the last section so that I could sandwich it between 2 metal plates, one is welded to the body the other site on the CV boot and column and is fastened into place.

Well I finally finished the body prep today, it has seemed like an eternity in reaching this point but I've finally got there, hopefully I will get the car off to the paint shop next week (snow dependent), mean while I will have to clean up all the other components and subframes ready for the re install. Can't wait to have it on the road (leagally)

Well I can say it's finally over (the sanding I mean) I know it probabbly doesn't lokk any differnt to some of my other photos but trust me theres been a lot of work done.

Here are some of the photos, all ready for paint, rubbed down to 800grit, seam sealed etc etc, I have it booked in for paint next week, $$$$$$ but worth it. I then have to part assemble it, get the interior done and complete the assembly.
