Back in Black

[Chris]

Got my rims back from the powder coater yesterday. They were a bit flaky after the fire. I reckon that they've done a better job than the first time around.

Put the BFGs on the front and the Coopers on the back. They'll do for now. Anything is better than slithering around bashing into trees.

Not sure if I will coat the spare rims in black. I might. Then get some serious rubber on them.

the Black looks much better

Yes. I like the silver well enough, but I do think it looks a bit 1970's. I had a mind to take the TURBO sticker off too. Maybe warm it with a hair drier?

I'll get the winch bumper done in matching black soon then it will start to look a bit more contemporary. I'd like to tint the rear glass as well then I think it will look quite smart.

a stealth 80 would look awesome

 

[Chris]

Well it ain't a fashion parade. But I have no objection to 'cool' looks.

We're getting there.

[Chris]

Hell no. Worst is that it wasn't the fire that caused that. Pikey tarmac, bad winter.

The clean trucks look great and i like to see them being used off road etc etc. Even more so when they dont get damaged.
Its hard to keep them good. My 80 is rough for a reason as carnt use one and keep it good when playing
