MONTE MOUNTS!
May 13th
The Lancia Monte Carlo is almost an honorary kitcar! Especially when a few of them have been used as a donor various Italianate rally replicas such as the Lancia Abarth 037, over the years.
Whenever GAZ produces a one-off suspension component for a customer, they then add that part to their catalogue and make it available for other owners of that vehicle model.
This can sometimes lead to some quite obscure parts becoming available. One such example is the GAZ solid suspension mounts for the Lancia Monte Carlo.
These billet aluminium mounts replace the rubber mounts used on production cars and provide a More >

NICE WHEELS MATE
May 7th
If you are building a Cal Look Beetle there will be a few wheels on your wish list and the BRM will no doubt be one of them.
Originals were made from magnesium and now change hands for thousands per corner, but there is another way…
SSP has captured the spirit of the seventies perfectly in their tribute to this classic rim. Manufactured in a more durable and cost-effective alloy, they still sport a ‘wide 5’ stud pattern, measure 5 x15in and have a slightly more favourable offset of ET14.
Finished in matt black with silver highlights they have a purposeful performance look More >

BUCKET LIST
May 5th
This is one to cross off your bucket list! Manufactured from heavy-duty, high-grade stainless steel this 12-litre bucket (part number 5929) from Laser Tools is far stronger and easier to clean than plastic or galvanised buckets.

There is another big advantage – the spun manufacturing construction means no seams — therefore this stainless-steel bucket is more hygienic and easier to clean, making it suitable for More >
