Cheers for the suggestions guys, I couldn't have spokes as i hate cleaning cars so they would drive me crazy trying to keep them clean. As for getting a Tigra, i couldn't afford the £30,000 it costs to get a good one.
Ya know cleaning cars isn't often discussed and I too fekkin HATE it, hence one of the many reasons I keep the truck how it is. I've got a custom pushbike with multispoke wheels and I don't remember ever cleaning them. Perhaps pass on the Tigra then! Those wheels will take some thought and it's your choice when it comes down to it and as long as your happy with the end result thats what counts.

I've bought a Holbay engine.
I've always had a thing about period tuning parts so even though its not a V8 there's no denying that a Holbay with twin 40's makes a lovely noise.

A mate of mine used to have a mk2 escort powered by a 1740 holbay motor with standard gearbox and rear axle and it went like $hit off a stick! 0-60 was very quick but it ran out of steam around 90mph, like you say it's not a v8 but i reckon you gonna have some fun with that lump in your septic
