Yeah Nah Posted November 25, 2023 Author Share Posted November 25, 2023 Thanks for the kind comments everybody. I took some indoor pics last night. I probably could have done better with the fit of the front bumper/chrome work but meh. Good enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeah Nah Posted November 25, 2023 Author Share Posted November 25, 2023 39 minutes ago, Dan Hay said: Looks great! I recently robbed those wires for another build, but I want to build this Riv. Thanks Dan. The wire wheels are WAY too wide even for the optional wider tyres that are in the kit. Ended up shaving about 1/8" off the inside faces and they were still too wide for the stock tyres. The rims are sitting proud of the tyre walls on the inside but can't be seen unless you flip the car over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chucked them up in a cordless drill and “machined” them down to fit with a 80 grit file. Totally worth it, they look great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
