Thanks James, it's actually not as good as it looks in the pics, but still lovely original condition for a 22 year old! Still some jobs to do of course . . . . . . .

Hood is canvas from All Wheel Trim, with HD sticks via AWT but from Purely Metal I am sure.

Canvas is currently in the process of shrinking to fit as I understand it

They say it can take up to 3 months

So, it is getting occasional trips out of the garage onto the drive for rain and dew - then drying

Can't wait to get the sides and back rolled up with all this lovely weather, then again I can't go out

Looking very nice there CarMan

You could always park it where you have in the pic and roll the sides up and pretend your out driving

I think the zu with the bigger tyres look perfect. What off set are they? That will get around turning issues surely?
If your not using them I could 🤭

Thanks. The Zu's are ET11 so the perfect compromise imho, but just not the look I am after at the moment, So, they will definitely be for sale, but currently unsure if with or without the 255 Toyo's. Need to keep them for a bit though until I get new Wolfs or refurb mine, but they are in nice condition - For Sale add to follow with pics at some point. Rob

Thanks, yeh it was never going to be used in anger, prefer the cleaner look and in the garage with no spare on the back and no winch it's surprising how much less space it takes up
