Met Andy (aka Socalandy)this morning to pick up my wheels. Andy was nice enough to bring them from Al Reed's to a halfway point. A million thank you's Andy. The nuts were done out of state, triple plated < $50 including shipping. I'm going to slap these on Whitey as it's so OG. Been chasing a set of these for awhile. I picked these up at the last G&R for a smoking deal. I'm sure they're old hat to a lot of you guys but for me it's right up there with my first date.

Nice!

I got Andy's other set of 5 Fuchs 2 liters last year for my 73 2L's rest - also Al's work.....
....now I just need to get the resto going again, but the 88 Westy resto jumped ahead, so that needs to get finished first.

Thanx for the AZ chromer referral too!

Right up there with your first date? Really? Your wife know that? Hmmm.... so how much is it worth to you that she never finds out?

My old wheels and a box of cigars.

What's the going club rate on getting the wheels done?

Posted by: 76-914 Oct 1 2012, 05:35 PM

about 5 month's and < $400. it's like converting dog years to human years. considering that 914's spend 90% of their life on jack-stands,that's only 2 weeks in 914 time.

This is good to hear! Locally their reputation has been a bit iffy at best. May have to give them another shot at doing some parts that need some cleaning up.

Now you will never drive the car anywhere. The amount a care needed to keep them clean will eat up all your time (and fingers).
