Burnsie the rally wagon - wheels, tyres and rally rollcage

Wheels arrived just the other day - 5 to start with, more to come. 

These are 15" Speedline Corse Wheels, each fitted with 195/65-15 Pirelli K40's. Wheels/Tires were purchased from my guys at AVsport - Honestly.... of all of my Subaru's and all the goods I've purchased in the past, these have to be the nicest treat I've ever purchased for any of my cars - they're stunning looking wheels! Nice that they will clear the WRX front calipers even though they are only a 15" wheel

 

Speedlines fitted with Pirelli Rally Tyres

In preparation for the welding of the rollcage....

we removed the entire dash assembly, this includes trim, radio, heater bits, vents - all of it!!! Car is right down to the wiring harness and the support beam across the dash (this is what's holding the car/dash together in the front.)  Center console and alls seat belts/airbag related material is also out - now it's time for the welding to begin!!

....come on Dave! U got work to do!!!
