Geoff .Hi Geoff
I like your wheel choice
Nick's car is being stripped down later this week, so your project will start a few weeks after that.
I have a cunning plan to create a very good likeness of the SWB......
Talk to you soon.

Afternoon the wires would have been at least 1 inch possibly a inch and a half further out each side at the front , never did try at the back but guess approx the same , the wires would be the better looking option but would be difficult because the Z3 hubs are positioned so far out , thanks for the comment re the Minilites , which i last used back in the 70s on MK1 and MK2 Escorts , Geoff .

No, unfortunately it saw it's demise against a tree in Carmarthshire one Saturday night ;-)
If only we'd have kept all that old stuff eh!

I like that Chris - very exciting. Have you though about how to get the rear angle of the door glass right? It looks critical to getting the shape balanced. Re-profiling the shape of the door/rear wing perhaps to get that rear sloping look, or just a different shaped glass?
Cheers
