Hey Westy, GQ is coming along nicely mate, I have 89 GQ with a few upgrades planned, just curious if there was anything specific you did to paint your rims? I still have white sunnies and was also going to paint them black ?? Cheers

[BigRAWesty]

Thanks mate. A bit to go yet..
Well bud first time was a rush job..
Lasted about 12 months..

So second time around ill be removing the tyres, pulling the valves.
Getting sand blasted and primed, then a 2 Pac top coat.
I'm also going to run balance beads, read good things about them. So no weights to chip the paint. I guess you could run the stick on weights, but the have been known to come off in the mud..

It looks great with all the work you've done on it, since I saw it , Kallen. With all the goodies on board, is an alarm and or a tracker in the to do list?

[BigRAWesty]

Will be off sometime next month to start the tear down.. will have to subject myself to a toyo.. so will be pooring every spare second into it..
