sweet ride mate... i got a wh caprice that "was" tungsten, is now all sanded back and is getting the same paint as yours

That's a nice ride mate! I think your WH Caprice will look good in that colour walesy, I've seen one before in that colour!

Slight update.. it's running the stock wheels at the moment because the rears are shot. I didn't actually realise how bad they were! I reckon I've got just enough tread left on them for the skid pan day coming up soon. I plan on putting the 20s back on for the day, ripping the fark out of the rears and hopefully getting some sweet photos in the process

Nice, sounds sweet, maybe even a vid of it in action

Is the whole tyre shot, or just the inside edges? (Not sure how the new rear ends wear when lowered?) If its just the inside edges, flip the tyres on the rims, it'l get you a little more skid time

UPDATES!!!

Not good ones though..

My missus was driving home from work when she got rear ended and pushed into another car. She is fine.. a little shaken and pretty upset but otherwise ok. There is bugger all damage on the front but I didn't actually get underneath to have a decent look. She wasn't 100% how fast the other car was going but she seems to think 50 or 60 at the time of impact. The rear crash bar looks like a silver banana and the boot must be twisted like hell. I think the exhaust may be bent and one side is now held up by 4 cable ties. It doesn't look that bad but underneath is a bit of a mess.

The other car (a Camira or similar) is, in her words, f*cked.

I'll let the pics tell the story.

Sadly no skid pan for me

I think I'll look into getting a Caprice rear bumper and hopefully get rid of the boot badge.
