Nah we're just bringing the Benz! And I still dont know about that, just sent another email to rollhard cause I didn't have any confirmation from them... Dont know if they were supposed to answer or no... Hope im still in tho

[Mehowski]

Yes man! Are bringing any other cars down and are you parking in the Village or the main ground?

What's up fam,

Just dropping some pics of my newly "polished" (not so much) Front wheels.

Decided to do this because the fronts were in pretty bad shape since I didn't finished them on my first attempt at refurbishing them...

SO, here it is, the lips are not as shiny as I would've expected, but they look waaay nicer and fresher than before imo, be the judge:







Next imma touch up the bumper paint and get ready for our road trip to RollHard The Show !

Hey y'all

This is for those who doesn't follow me on instagram !

Got the Rh's back from being center bore redrilled and was able to make a test fit :





Yeah, they're in need of a rebuild i agree.

Unfortunately my "wheel budget" will go on the road trip to England for the RollHard show.

And since I'm about to quit my job, these are gonna wait in my garage until better days haha...

I'm pretty happy to have a preview of 'em on the car, but in the mean time i need to focus on polishing the Borbet lips for refreshing them!

Stay tuned !

So excited to see this like you dont even know! haha

It's mad how low you are on cut springs, does the rubbing not put too much stress on the tire and might burst it? Dont want that on the way to England haha

You'll see this thing soon enough man, but be warned it's not as clean as you think it is haha!

Well, I was exaggerating it, the rubbing is only annoying when the wheels are half turned... So I think it'll be ok for the road to England since it's pretty much straight highways nah?

The good thing is tho, when i'm in full lock the car raise up a little, it helps to park

Damn, and hope the Merc will make it through the 800miles tho

So cool

Thanks a lot man! Followed your page on IG btw, it's super cool the shots are dope!

Hello, attention please!

Lowered the front again by cutting 0.75 coil off:





It's rubbing like hell when I turn the wheels but I'm pretty satisfied with the fitment now

[Laef]

Hi guys!

Hopefully I should be able to get my wheels back, I dropped them off to get machined because the center bore was 1mm too small for the Merc one.

Aaaand the car has just been approved for RollHard "The Show" on the 14th August, STOKED.

This will be my first car show ever.

I think I'm gonna cut 1/2 coil off the front agin, and finger crossed for rebuilding the RH's in time haha...

Pics of the RH's soon !

[Laef]

Little update, the new wheels should be here by the end of the week!
So excited haha

[Laef]

this is looking so good!

Thanks man, much appreciated !

Also I just received my "new" turn signals; well they're used but in great condition, my currents one are broken (right one) and faded (left one) so it'll look a bit better haha
