Ok i know some may frown on this but don't panic as i don't intend to change it past the point of no return like my other. I like the retro look and plan to make a few subtle changes in keeping with year.
What do you think? 13 inch banded HC rims to 6 inch wide, 185/60/13 treads.



this image does make the wheels look like they stick out, but actually they are better positioned than a 7 inch rim in my opinion.

Looks great the only thing i would do is sit the car a bit lower on the ride height

Phew, that's ok then, :) to be honest i was a bit undecided with it at first, with its low miles and original condition it had to have mods that could be reversed back to original should i ever decide to sell the car in the future.
Took the opportunity to use the works ramp to get some work done on it.


Full service, new lower ball joints, and a HC disc brake mod for the front

I had these on my other HB and its works surprisingly well with out a servo, but might consider fitting one.

Like bannded steels. But I would have kept them 12", like Brabham wheels.
