Bought a Sierra as Donortruck - now he stay
- Thread starter Phoenix-LH
- Start date
i didnt expect it also
under this condition we think twice about reuse parts
But for that it need to know how solid is a new one
Not much progress until now as all time is going to finish the CUCV
Damned thinking twice again if i will swap a lightway NP208 to NP205... Specially if you have only 2 and a "half" hand (male+female).
Nevertheless it was worth it
Last week we took the tires of the rims to sandblasting them
not our favorite rims but what we have there. Still hard to find suitable rims with road approval in Germany
the frame is still in our shop. Now bring the frame to a sandblastingshop and havnt time to paint is a foolish idea...
Just thought also about Chemical derusting but it is very expensive
So we go with sandblasting and a good primer, paint and underbody protection.
We will not live long enough that this will go down during our live
our son will have the trouble with it after we gone

its not about avialability of wheels - its up on the law here. Aftermarket parts needs a technical certification in Germany without you will lost the streetlegal of your vehicle. None of aftermarket parts of the USA have here any technical certification. You can take an US Certification and ask if this is accepted for the street legal, usually its difficult and so we are looking for wheels here which have done this certification by a german dealer.
We can also ask with the technical specification of wheels for a streetlegality here. We need load-index, of course right size of bolt pattern (no problem as there exist enough) and the right tiresize - all must fit in without scratching and rubbing anywhere specially under load and taking advantage of the spring deflection. There is always a risk that these purchased wheels will not got streetlegatlity. So we prefer first to check wheels who had this
