Got the radiator out and started stripping the paint off the driver's side of the engine bay. Didn't work real well. I'll need to have at least one more go, maybe more.

Been there, done that. I had the Corbeau equivalent but think they look too modern.

No specific plans. Minilites with the inters may go on the slug for Oulton, the R888's I have on there are getting a bit past it. However if the 13" wheel won't clear the rear brake calipers (I know turbines don't) then Minilites on Baur and MSW's on the Slug as wets for Oulton. 1st march I suspect it will rain.

I now have...

MIMS in VGC with knackered Toyo TR1's on - sat at old unit
MIMS in VGC with Slicks - again at unit
Turbines in VGC with OK but old tyres - again at unit
MIMS in usable but need refurb with worn R888's - on Slug
MSW's in VGC with new Avon road tyres - on Baur
Most of a set of steels with/without tyres down at unit
And some minilites

I'm a wheel collector! Need to get the pile back to the house and ready to be used.
