When i had my FC Van i had a guy come out to my home that grooved my tyres and coloured the wall any colour you liked . He was from round sydney , Guildford i think , He had a tiny little van with the machine that actually grooved your tyres whilst on the car but for the life of me i cannot remember his companies name or cannot locate his number .. perhaps his outta business , But by any chance does anybody know if hes still doing it or if anybody offers this service still in Sydney metro.. Worth a shot , !!!!!

These were banned because they cut into the tyre in the process,warranty,RW,insurance,etc.I remember all ther car yards using them,it was all the rage. :P
Yeah i remember all that , The wheels arent legal anyway . 20 inch with a 30 series tyre ... .. And the cars not insured ,, !!!!!! Thats how i can afford the whitewalls ,, lol, Thanks for the number Alex
sounds gangsta slim
retro tyres are here
My old man was one of the first in the country to have one of those groove machines back in the late 70's early eighties. So he said . I used to have and sit in many a Newcastle car yard with him on my visiting holidays watching him cut grooves into tires and fill them with rubber paint . Ran into a bloke a few years ago at a VW car show at Fairfield who was doing whitewalls . He was only laying on rubber paint no grooves cut in . The new age sensitive way ;D
Everything old is new again ,,,,,, ;D ;D ;D. Gota love whitewalls. grooved , painted , flappers . all look great on FEs and FCs. Hey Harko ya still fluting bonnets mate .. ???? nudge nudge wink wink
is this for the new sedan Slim?
Nah thats tucked away later for future reference . Its actually for FE COOL .. Doin a bit of a Rat rod for my 15 year old son .. so by the time he gets his licence its how he wants it... :o :o,, But hes got pretty good taste ..
Looking forward to seeing pics of both these cars Slim.
I'm sure your kids have good taste, they've always been around cool cars.
