    Default New wheels/ Weekend plans

    After a painstaking decision, I finally came to the conclusion of getting new wheels. Stock wheels were growing old on me so here's to the new wheels.

    Before:


    Acquired these a week ago:


    The black didn't please me too much...


    So the drama began:


    I never would have thought wheels would be this hard to strip. I tried 3 different types of paint stripper, then finally landed on aircraft paint stripper.

    And about 3 days of on and off work i get these:




    Still more to come, but for now I'll let my hands rest.

    Weekend plans:

    Since it's going to be hot out I am planning to do some work on the grocery getter.

    A few things that are going on are:






    thats all for now. Have a nice one ladies
