Serious ####!
OKAY. So I got asked to use this car for a wedding driving the bridal party around. Rock on, thought this could be fun. Had a test fitting of the ribbons the other night:
The cars looked incredible, we were psyched.
Then on the way home I stopped in at a friend's place, ####ed up the driveway and pinched a sidewall. Thought that'd be no big deal, put the spare on, new tyre in the morning, good as gold.
One of the nuts seized to the stud. Absolutely un-movable, we tried the smaller socket and hammer trick, tried a nut-grabber tool, tried a cold chisel. None of this shifted it...
So we drilled the stud out down past the nut and snapped the stud off the hub.
Got the wheel off and put a new tyre on it, and proceeded to the wedding on four lug nuts on the front wheel. Whatever, I made it, we looked the part:
And a shot of me and my mate who owns the red VY, after we got rid of our ties and de-formalised our outfits, just because.
Proper nightmare of a weekend, really. Need a new hub(or just a stud) and a new lug nut, or a new set all around that wont corrode and deform like the holden ones, or something. And the wheel is now properly butchered. Good excuse to get new wheels I think.
