Right been thinking bout doing this for a while, bad a old skateboard I picked up for £1 I stickerbombed it and stuck it in the car, and that's where it stayed for 4months.
So I thought f*ck it, I'll get a move on,
Started marking and cutting
Trial fitted with larger bolts
Clearance was shocking
Cut and trimmed and sanded
New grip tape
New wheels arrived.
70mm 80as'
Size difference is epic!!!!
Cleaned up the bearings and swapped them over fitting all 4 wheels
I got clearance!!!!
Some stance shots
Plan are adjust the camber
Paint the trucks
Need to sort out the steering as currently I can't turn it lol
And need to find some truck spacers to put at the top of the trucks to tidy thinks up

Doubt it as they replace the rubber bush that is on normal trucks and I wouldn't look at how much they are for a set of trucks either, might push the project a little over budget

Would be epic if it could be done. Might have to just put springs on it. Yeah..... Just looked. They more expensive than the whole build so far!
