Title: Sourcing Whitewalls Post by: Willy on September 21, 2005, 05:13:11 AM Hi Guys,
I drive a MX23 1974 Toyota Mark II Hardtop (sorry its not a holden haha) My dad used to be affiliated with the NSW section of the club, I found some whitewalls down beside the house the other day for my Mark II... theyre 13" and they were made by Atlas, i decided to squeeze them around the hubcaps and then put the hubcaps on the rims, the results speak for themselves... (http://img380.imageshack.us/img380/4292/10020029yr.jpg) This is written on the whitewall... (http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/5803/10020037xb.jpg) Any help is greatly appreciated...

Title: Re: Sourcing Whitewalls Post by: Willy on September 21, 2005, 05:28:48 AM You dont know what the prices are do you?
Im tossing up whether to buy 14" ones and have them put onto the tyres properly or whether I should just by the 13" again and throw them under the hubcaps... Title: Re: Sourcing Whitewalls Post by: hawk on September 21, 2005, 06:14:23 AM Keal 13 inch flappers are approx $135, 14 inch i don`t know what they are worth Cheers Greg

Better watch out mate we like to cut those types of cars up around here ,Well I do :) and Im being Willy serious... Title: Re: Sourcing Whitewalls Post by: Ed on September 21, 2005, 09:06:13 PM Hey Willy,
Nice MkII, I owned one just like it (minus the whitewalls). It had a 6cyl motor etc. for $700 and 7 months rego, it was the best car i ever bought. Did all these have a 6 cyl motor? The car was sold to a friend and written off in less than a week. :-/ ::) he stopped to park it on a busy road and before he got out it was horribly rear ended. the boot was in line with the rear window. harko, Am i missing something here? what use is a humble MkII? Is it closely related to the Crown? Cheers Ed PS Willy those whitewalls make the car look very beautiful. Title: Re: Sourcing Whitewalls Post by: customFC on September 22, 2005, 07:57:41 AM I have never seen this method used to attach the whitewalls. I would think that when you get up some speed the whitewall would want to pop the cap off.
