There's about 2" difference in offset, hence the reason they're not on there I'd love them on there

Get what on?
Swapping the mags around between the two cars really have no trouble at all, Just the offset was different..
its more than just offset, id have a read of this before you end up in the gutter after the wheel studs snap, theres a fair chance your insurance wouldnt cover you too, if they got picky, be fine to roll around the shed but i wouldnt wanna be doing it everyday

Ah, Well luckily I didn't drive around with the mags swapped over then! Only did it for photo purposes :p

I also done it for the photo, I coulda told you the pCD is different, only by a little, there are spacers you can get to go from Hq pattern to commodore pattern, but I'm pretty sure they're illegal anyway,

The bonnet fob is a caprice item, rare spares have repro ones, but I got this one off eBay for a good price. Chevs have them too

Since I had no work this week and the old girls gone from daily to being driven 30kms in 3weeks, I decided it's time to clean the visor and screen surrounds, the visor hadn't been polished underneath all it's life, so I think it come up pretty good.

And that little bit if rust under the windscreen is now a major problem, it's a massive hole I can see the carpet through.....

If I had one the thing would be rust free...... It's little fiddley bits here and there and it's annoying, this is the biggest patch of rust, and of coarse it has to be in the worst spot
