I agree, looks superb. Well done.

Can you remember what height from the floor you mounted the seats? Mine are 75mm and i can only just see over the big sierra steering wheel. How's yours?

The stock tyre size on the Sierra was closer to 195/55R15, so 195/50R15 will overread by 3.5%. This is well within the 10% margin, but most speedos overread by 10%-ish even on correct tyres...

Albert,

The standard sierra steel wheels on my donor used 185/65/14 tyres which should convert pretty close to 195/50/15.

Im on 195/50/15 with a standard sierra dash cluster and he said my speedo readings were perfect at iva so i wouldnt worry about it :)

Very nice indeed. Do you know what that paint colour is called? Is it a RAL colour? It looks very close to what I am looking for. I will only be doing the wheel arches and nosecone in that, the rest will be white.

It is ral6018 yellow green. It looked the closest to Kawasaki green when gus picked it.

Thanks davedew, methinks me will be ordering some of the same. Looks mighty fine to my eye.
