I'm trying figure out what wheel and tyre package this needs, I'm thinking cream wheels and more sidewall

Mickey Thompson's and some beadlocks 👌
There was a belter there last night with an LS3 in it. Only these pictures on the website though.

I saw that near York the other day following a Ferrari 360.
That interior and wheel makes the baby jesus cry blood.

Work out why it’s smoking its bag off and then sell it. Probably at a loss.

Whichever has fuel
@leeds_182 - what’s your favourite car you’ve ever owned?
Don’t know really - probably my Nova SR when I was 18 because I was king dick in the 6th form.
Valve stem seals? Hopefully not rings!

Smokes on higher loads rather than idle, i'm thinking inadequate crank ventilation or rings,

So my American car experience may be coming to an end. The engine is breathing heavily, I have tried to change as much as I can but think it’s probably worn piston rings which I cannot unfortunately afford to fix.
So, I’ve pulled my pants down, lubed up and put it up for sale for £3k less than I paid for it. I’m sure someone with mechanical knowledge and tools etc could turn it round a bit chEaper and make a profit.
I’ve bought a few cars blind but actually put more effort into buying this one - spoke to the guy at length and he seemed really genuine, sent photos and vids etc but in the end it’s sold as seen and my fault for not going and test driving it.
Anyways, it’s better to have loved and lost etc etc
If it doesn’t sell I’ll just have to wait for a relative to die and pay for it fixing.

That was a great, honest ad as well - a shame you had to take the financial hit.Chevy C10 Pick-up V8 350 (Deposit taken) | eBay

Yeah, someone had to and unfortunately I was the one left standing when the music stopped. Guy I bought it off still maintains it was fine when he had it and I’ve killed it in the 40 or so miles I’ve driven.

This is probably too late, but it doesn’t have an oil catch can on it does it? I thought I’d blown the Clio up and it was just the hose to the tank had melted/blocked and that was making it throw mountains of blue smoke and pressure through the oil filler cap. Unplugged said can, life was happy.
It’s got a PCV system on it so same thing. That’s what I thought originally but the compression test results told a different story.

Gutted for you to be honest. The block looks pretty much freshly painted in the pics too, and to do a job like that it’d have to have been pulled. Surely they wouldn’t have lugged out a shagged engine to paint it and then refit it. Such a shame 🙁
Yeah, I loved driving it. Pretty gutted but if you buy and sell enough you’re gonna get bummed at some point.
They could have given it a dingle-ball rebuild, when it really needed a rebore.
or they flattened the cam after the rebuild, and fucked the bores in the process.
