Wheelin' and Dealin'

Somehow my knack for a deal has rubbed off on Jeremy and he scored these awesome snowflakes for me! They came off a VW caddy. With tires, center caps, etc. all for $200! They were about 3 hours away, but luckily a friend of ours was headed that direction to visit family. So she was able to pick them up for us.

They did need a little TLC in the cleaning up department. Which again, I left to Jeremy. Apparently this is what he used, but I can't attest to any of its effectiveness. I'm told oven cleaner works really well on wheels to degrease. So lets go with that.

Here's my cabby before with Le Castellets:





And here is after with the Avus (snowflakes):



All in all an upgrade I'm pretty happy with. I'm going to try to tackle a new top and interior this fall/winter. I'm needing a speaker enclosure so I can put the speakers I purchased in. Need the driver side of this piece highlighted in red. Which apparently isn't easy to find.
