the list is now getting shorter :)

Image

Front wheels off and up in the air for the last little bit of welding on the front inner wings

Image

I wasn't happy with how the front wheels sat so got some spacers and then machined out the back to fit the hubs,

Image

Finally got the front arch's on after deliberating weather or not to fit them, but with the wheels kicked out a bit with the spacers it works allot better.

Image

Finished trimming the rear shock towers and put a bit of carpet in the luggare area, I'm happy with it for now and worked out allot cheaper than the 350 quid to buy some,


Also tided up all the wiring on the front and got both the front old Bosch horns working with a bit of WD40 and a well aimed tap with the hammer,

I didn't have a interior light managed to find one from the states brand new NOS for £25 delivered fitted it and it all worked and even managed to find the wiring for the door switch :o


Image

No happy with the paint but its on there and in some places allot of it with run's and stuff, I'm thinking of just flatting it all back for now and then maybe mop it and blow some bits in or leave it or even maybe thinking of a colour change,

Still no bumper but if it turns up this week I might be booking that MOT ;D

looks awesome! I think to get 'the look' for the front wheels, you need to get some neg camber happening, maybe longer lower arms to make the track wider

Went for a drive yesterday aound some nice Welsh A roads with a friend and decided to change the rear springs out for some stiffer ones, so today i've been playing around with back suspension,

Image

Ended up a bit close on the back

Image

Had to raise it up a bit and then messed about with some yellow tint film and some insulation tape

Image
Im thinking about front mounted oil coolers now to after seeing Mr.Vengeance thread
