Bit of an update,

Ive spent almost every spare moment on the wagon since I got it. I swapped out the 350 holley for a 32/36 weber man was that an ordeal with the kickdown cable for the t700, I made a bellcrank setup that took about 3 full weekends to refine. Snicked the paint back, put all the chrome back on, carpeted and hundreds of other minor little touches.

Last week I got some jellybeans like in the picture below (always wanted a set) they're 13 x 7 but unfortunately you can't have everything, because it's lowered they are just too tight and rubbing on the guards (mainly the rear) so I'm on the hunt for another set with less offset, maybe 13 x 5.5 or 6.

If anybody has anything available in the se queensland region, please shoot me a pm. I'll post in the wanted section too.

Now with dragway indys.





Kind of ruins the style that fatboy was going with, which I really loved but I like shiny things too, and just a decade or more too modern, still looks pretty good and they clear the guards perfectly. Did I mention I like shiny things

For reference for future people with the same problems.

I have a HR front end and diff (I think it's a hr diff anyway) and my FC is lowered

I searched high and low for wheels with clearance, the jelly beans I had were 105mm from the bolt up face to the outside lip of the rim.

I found a guy with a few sets of mags he took off his torana, the measurement from the bolt up face to the lip of the rim is 80-85mm

my jellys were 7" with 185 tyres (195 is the recomended minimum) and they were scraping the front and rear guard lip on the outside.

The dragways  are also 7" but with 225's they dont scrape (they actually only miss the rear guard lip by about 1-2mm) and they clear the top balljoint by about 5mm phew!!

This guy still has a nice set of 6 spoke jelly beans with the same offset if anyone wants them $400 with tyres
