This is the '86 2 door 4X4 I picked up for NZ$850 (US$700). It's a bit rough, but road legal. I have a garage full of parts that came with it, doors, panels, rear hatches, sunroof, suspension's, engines and box's etc. Even a barrel full of door and hatch seals. Thing that I noticed most where the factory alloys. They are all missing the knock outs in the center though, which is unfortunate since I doubt I'll be able to get new ones.......it also came with an '84 four door FWD which will be the amphibian project car.

The mottling is where the clear coat has pealed off, but the alloy is still in very good condition. One rim has a chuck missing but it should be repairable at a Mag shop. Attachments:

I have heard that if once wheels get bent then it never works properly. Is it true?

Depends on what they are made from, the more pure the aluminium the easier the fix. And broken is alot easier to cut out, weld in a new block and spin down in a lathe, than it is to straighten a bent mag.
I have a specialit mag wheel repair shop in this city, so am lucky in that regard.
