Wow, it's hard to believe that it's been almost a year to the day that I have had an update. A lot has happened in my life, but little has happened on the car. Last summer, I had the Fergat Cromodoras media blasted and painted. After they were media blasted, I filed and sanded the edges to clean up some of the small nicks.
I purchased Pirelli 6000s (185X65 14) at Barnsley Tire Co., in Boulder. I chose Barnsley because I knew they would care for my rims and provide quality service.
The tires were waiting out front when I arrived. I told Brian, the salesman, that this was a special occasion and I just had to snap a picture. He probably thought I was nuts, but that's ok. I loaded them up and dashed home to put them on the car.
Putting on the first wheel what delightful. After 4 years, my car was finally going to rest on rubber. About ten years ago, I bought some center caps from Larry Junior at APE. I plan to use them, unless I find soome of the correct vintage caps.
All five where painted the same colour. The shop that painted them used BMW Polaris Silver. They seemed to know that all of the wheel colours used back then were pretty similar. I am happy with the colour.
Absolutely beautiful. I just can't wait to see the final result... I spotted the lettering "Sport Veloce" on the tire in the pic 2 of the post #3. It would not get more appropriate than that to have them on a spider veloce !!
Congrats on havng her back on the ground. These wheels look fabulous!! You sure take a long time for your restoration, but everything you do looks sooooo perfect!! I sometimes wish I had that patience. GREAT JOB!
Truly stunning job Osso!
You have my complete admiration!
Maybe I missed somewhere but I am interested in how you have your body cart/dolly attached.... do you have pins going into the jacking points to stop her from slipping off?
Nope, the weight of the car keeps it on the dolly.
