RoryWebb432 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 £65 a corner isn't bad if you ask me. You can get it done cheaper though. I'm going to do it as more of a hobby/part time job more than anything and see how it goes. That's nice looking sr that. Don't see many about looking mint these days either.

JDMfreak Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 isnt in my eyes a bad price for your wheels to look brand new again,, cheaper than buying another set,, it more of a hobby for me i can go into shed and potter around for a few hours doing it and make a few pound,, it was imaculate sorry i never bought it when he was selling it,, but i never knew he had sold it till i seen him in a levin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JDMfreak Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 i suppose but levins are so common here and any young lad that gets them 9 times out of 10 dogs it for a while and sells it on and same thing happens again with next owner some have been cared for but have been abused aswell i was never a big fan of the levins as i think they should have been rwd rather than fwd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JDMfreak Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 right may aswell update the thread ordered my strut yesterday turned up this morning colours a bit lairy but its getting re-painted 205 toyota black if the weather picks up today also my 1ao silver touch up paint arrived today looks very good colour match hopefully this should get rid of a few little marks then a light sanding of 2500 3000 grit and a buff up should see them them gone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
