is it possible to repair this rim?

[qikteg]

i just reckon those super advans look super sweet on 80's/90's coupes.. but i'm not willing to compromise safety for them. if i can't be guaranteed that it'll be safe and last a fair while, then i agree with the concensus that it probably isn't worth it..

mr-5's it is!

Perhaps you should show them to someone who actually knows what they are talking about before you decide that.

Our rim was worse like I said actual chunks missing from it. It came up perfectly and was entirely safe and just as strong as if it had never been damaged.

im sure the person who glitta is talking about knows much much much more than we do

but i study this sort of stuff

that wheel has pretty much buckled, if its going to be repaired, it will be done in a very special way

and it takes a GOD of a materials engineer that has been doing this shit for centuries to do it properly

if he/she takes a shortcut, or leaves something for too long or too short a time, it could completley alter the property and strength of the metal

im paranoid coz i know wat sort has to be done to repair it, and im saying from my limited knowledge, that i wouldnt risk it

thats y im paranoid, not because it cant be done, but because i know its a difficult job

so id rather say fuk it, and start over, buy a whole new set of wheels....

BUT this is wat id do

by all means qkteg, go to this guy glitta is talkin about and have a chat to him, come back and tell us everything

im very interested in wat he will say

[qikteg]

somebody may have already bought them from underneath me...

but i'll see what i can do, because if i can get them, i want them.

lol the guy im talking about is extremely skilled has been in the game for a very long time.. he has more degrees in stuff then I can even name! lol He is fully qualified is just about anything car repairing related.. and is a genuis with anything metal. I've seen his work he is very good at what he does and takes his time I have no idea how the hell he does some of the stuff he does but have been using him for 10 years now for various stuff that people have said can't be repaired and he's always came up with the goods.

Cannot recommend him highly enough, even if you don't end up using him for the rim keep his details what he can do is very specialised. You will see when you go to see him anyways. Not only that he is reasonable with his prices and a top bloke aswell.. If you can get Gary to do the job better for you but he is kinda retiring his sons do most of the work now but both are as good as their Dad anyways..

He recently completed his pet project of fully restoring a Cessna airplane 4 seater get him to show you the photos you WILL NOT beleive what that plane looked like he nows spends his time flying it around based at Bankstown Airport.. incredible bloke..

[krogoth]

ah, fair enough

he does sound like a complete pro

its just that i learn to be very wary, so many ppl and workshops talk so highly of themselves only for u to find that they have nfi later on

but yeh, good on him

if this place was in melb id go and ask them for work experience
