i see them now but my question...from where did you find the classic set of rims you have pics of ?..i need them for my datsun :/

[Xulfiqar]

your radiator cap is not correct, the upper radiator pipe is higher than the cap, better fix that or you would have to fill the system with the car raised from the cap side.

@NaXuN > Thanks buddy
Which rims / 100 wire or alloy 1.

[N1J1M]

@ Xulfiqar > Sir Radiator is already fixed, Cap is shifted and pipe is lowered .

Nice Project. Got Da Detroit Hood Gangsta Look wid dem Rims, ya feelin' me.

To protect the Rims from paint and other stuff, please put on the old tires till the modification, paint job is complete, otherwise, it will leave all the marks and scratches on it. Rims should be put on car last, after the big job is done.

Datz Pak Rap Star, Style. Rap Music Comes to mind, automatically, whenever Looking at this " 'Hood " Famous Chevy Caprice. It is found in USA, (My Country, My Home, I love It, Love Pakistan Too, where I was born), almost entirely in Black Neighborhoods, with nice shiny 22 inch 24 inch, or even 26 inch Shiny Rims, make it look like Pakistani Tonga, but thats how some people like it here.

Aight, Gotz to get Chillin, Yo Yo Homie... Peace Out.

@ RN100 > Thanks for the advices / u'll see the car soon here , well 22 / 24 / 26 Rims are so hard to find in Pakistan, specially with ur choice.

[N1J1M]

just make sure you get the engine fitted correctly and get proper mounts etc because if not done properly can be a big headache later..
