Unique old style rims mate!
As for the rear hatch glass... It just pops out when you push from the inside to out.
To reinstall the window, simply put the rubber seal back in place on the hatch.
Then put a long, & strong piece of string in the rubber/seal channel all the way around were the glass goes. But make sure you have some over hanging string to pull on later!
Finally, lay the glass on top edge of the seal (outside of hatch side). Then pull the string out, carefully allowing the rubber to peal over the edge of the glass all the way around.
This old trick worked for me, so why not give it a try.... Good luck

yeah they will look good on the car i think.witch is lucky considering they were pretty mutch the only rims( apart from work equip 01s) that i could find in that size and offset.
the problem is i now have to wait atleast a month for the buggers to get here.
looks like ile be going for a set of 215 45 r15 tyres on them(against bigelboe's recomendation) because they are the only tyres i can get with a low enough od,that is if the guy in sydney still has a set

Hey turbocab...
This might be of interest to you
I managed to source a set of Nankang 195/45/15 with the correct load rating for my Bullfrog Replica...
Only cost about $400 NEW from city discount tyres.
I think they are an OZ wide franchise
There a reasonably good wearing softer tyre, with a semi-sports tread pattern.
I also considered the wider tyres, but with my offset & the thought of cutting up the body kit to make them fit I decided against the idea

hmmmm sounds interesting,the max rim width for those tyres is 6.5in it might be stretching it a bit on a 7in wide rim.ile talk to my uncle who owns a tyre shop again soon and see what he can come up with
fitted the first door pannel today,should have worn gloves that sika 252 sticks worse than shit to a blanket!

i know
the old ones are 185 60 13s its going to be faaaarrrrkin close on the fit with these wheels and tyres.ime guessing that i wont even be able to drive the car until i get some stiffer suspension on it.
and chances are ile be cutting the edge of the bumper back to allow full lock turning.
just a little worried matt

more progress made yesterday and ime hoping to get a bit done today.
drivers side bogged up,looking pretty smooth but ive still got a few wavy bits here and there,i plan to use some sort of high build primer basically from the windows down then sand it all straight after that.
bare metal
mass bog
some seam welding already done in engine bay,bigelboe has inspired me to do more.
ime still waiting on my wheels and getting kinda anxious
