[Top Down]

   

Playing catch-up, here's another 'Not-a-car'. This Hummer was bought back in October '23. 

When it was unpacked I thought the previous owner had slathered it in oil but no - it was the Proslot tyres haemorrhaging vital fluids. I've never seen so much, it was everywhere!

First thing was to isolate and thoroughly dismantle it. 

The tyres just 'mushed' and spat oil as soon as I gripped them, making removing the wheels a very messy job but once that was done it was an easy matter to remove the running gear from the body and gently prise off the roof rack so the spare wheel & tyre could also be discarded. 

All was thoroughly 'degreased' then put to one side, awaiting the arrival of a full set of Mitoos alloy wheels and tyres. These and a Slot.it crown wheel were reamed out to fit the Proslot axles, spacers added to max out the track and the whole thing reassembled, including a Mitoos wheel and tyre bolted to the roof rack.

The alloys really lift the appearance to my mind, making it a great running mate for the custom crew cab Hummer I built for the proxy rallies during Lockdown.
