fat 5 refurb....

[britlude]

Well I have a valid excuse why I’ve not been on the forum posting so much, just done a quick refurb on my fat 5 wheels that have my winter tyres on them!


When I took them off last winter, a couple were getting a little more than crusty,

so I gave the bubbles a quick scrape off, just to check the aluminium underneath was ok (it was) and the plan was to get them refurbed in the summer…..


….best laid plans and all that,

when we had the brief flurry of snow a couple of weeks ago, the wheels looked like….

...Flatted back and etch primed over the bare metal parts… bum!



Add more primer….

The centre cap ‘H’ stickers are actually metal on mine, but made up vinyl stickers after scanning the original ‘H’

that does mean the likelihood of freezing temperatures and snow has dropped significantly!

Hi Jonathan,

is that a 'cube' rear door in one of the prep photos? Are you having to rebuild Sarah's car yourself?

wheels look very good!

Thanks for sharing Jonathen...looks fantastic.

The club has gone to S..t, so any great post limit this is appreciated. I've been on here years, payed duties even though I don't even own an NSX any more [well not old one] and post like yours are great.

Thank you kindly......

[britlude]

your welcome, i hope the recovery is still moving in the right direction!

[Sudesh]

Stilling recovering my friend, another Hospitat appointment early Feb. Just a standard checkup. They said no need to bring over nite bage; so that's good.

I really love the setup of your car, I used to have a set of those wheels laying in one of my garages somewhere. I must get my ass in gear and go search

oh to have enough space to lose stuff!!!

[Sudesh]

I have plenty space, 4 Garages and 30arcs of ground. Andrew, Shain can fill you in.

I had 20 or so Nissan 300zx which is one one of my favourite cars. Looking for a nice example currently to keep.... The Supra TT Auto is something amazing. Had a few of those also

If it was the 's' word that was changed, it'll be a swear filter in the forum software that replaces deemed offensive words with something less so! this is usually mentioned in the terms and conditions of the forum when you first registered, you know, the bit no-one ever reads! (brother ran a forum, so knows the lay of the forum land!)

if there was an edit, there would be an edit tag at the end of the post.. (edited this post, so it'll show up below...)

on another forum i was on, '1956 ford pickup' was replaced by 'hideous noddy car' because we didn't like the bloke who had one! :)


obviously if it's something else, i'll shut up!

[Sudesh]

It's a little stuck up the club has got, I'm on Ferrari, Lambo, Bently, and helicopter forums; they arnt as stuck up as here. Yeah the NSX is an Amazing car, I have new one on order. And posted a huge amount.but club has gone very stail from what I can see. I maybe wrong, if so the I apologise. But I'm on here years, still here lol...pay my fees even though I don't have an NSX anymore.........Yet!

[britlude]

so the new nsx.... colour, spec, due date.....????

[nobby]

Definitely a lot quieter on here of late ...

[Sudesh]

I'll let you know soon, I wanted a Bell222 but it wasn't a bel222 but that's it in different leauge.

[nigel]

We just had a 230 go for $800,000.00 US in top shape. That's cheap over here.
No one wants the 222 with the Lycoming engines.

Britlude, nice job on your wheels.

Cheers
