    So, it’s been a while, but things are progressing. After starting to remove the rim centres, I had a fall at work which has slowed me up quite a bit. I’m back to doing almost everything I was before, but after x-rays and a MRI still have to see a Surgeon next week to see if I need surgery - crossing my fingers that I don’t...

    Anyway, this caused me to have to farm out the rim job which has now been done, I have them all back, degreased, prepped, etch primed and primed now. Top coat hopefully tomorrow and it’s down to the tyre place for the new wellys. These have been ordered so all going well, could have Chucky back on his feet this weekend and out of the garage.👍. The Jag will love that idea. 😁

    And the first rim painted - doesn’t quite look the right colour here, and Wes isn’t sure either, but it is darkening up as it dries fully and I think it will be ok. Problem is it looks too good because I sprayed it, might have to slop the paintbrush onto it later if I don’t like the look once they are on the vehicle. 😁

    Tyres are ordered and all going well, will be fitted Friday if they turn up in time which I should know an ETA tomorrow at some stage. 👍. For those interested, have ordered these - AT-5 | Nankang Tyres - in a 315/75/16. Cheap and have reasonable reviews, including apparently being extremely good in the wet, which was one of the weakest points about the XZL’s - it was like ice skating with those on, so look forward to that.

    Thanks mate, next pic will be with all the rims and new tyres on them - dropping the rims off tomorrow arvo, will have them back shod Friday arvo. 👍

    Depending on a few things this weekend, they may even make it onto Chucky and he’ll get to see the sunshine again. 😊

    Sneak peak - rims all ready for delivery to the tyre place tomorrow. 👍. Colour came out well, but I still think they’ll look a bit out of place being so uniform and shiny. It’s a satin finish but should have gone matt I think - will see.

    Did the paint darken to the last image or is just the lighting? You're right, might need a bit of a sloppy paint brush over them but not too sloppy..

    Paint went much darker thankfully when fully dry - the shot of it in the sun it was only just touch dry, 24 hours later, it had gone the colour I wanted.

    Holy tyre stack Batman! New tyres are on the rims and hopefully will be on Chucky real soon as they’re taking up a stack of room in the front room 😁. Even with the cost of a new rim so I can run 2 spares, widening them and 6 new 315/75/16’s this still came to well under half the cost of buying new XZL’s so well ahead now. 👍

    Unless you have 34 rooms like in a French Chateau I saw on the box, you must be nearly out of rooms at your gaff. The Tyre Room. The Model Room etc etc etc.
