Fixed wheel bearing & hub lastweek, now running on all 4 cylinders.. just need a new TB and need to invest in a welder to do my exhaust.

Not low, not clean.. but it's kinda working..

One arch semi-bodged until we chop them out;

My friends respraying the car for me soon :) not sure weather to keep it the same colour or change it up a little, go for something a different? Engine build also coming soon..

Edit: Also got new headlights from where i bumped it, now sitting flush!

What are you on about not low!?

Looks awesome.

What's going on with that coil over though?

Will be lower once i whip the engine out and sort the rear arches :) Coil overs just popped through, can weld a plate on the inside but strong washer is a temp fix :D

I don't think there's any point in using logic to try and work out why that happened.  :grin:

Hard to get a shot, but got longer high tensile bolts and doubled up on the rear camber..

This is just personal preference but (now I'm gunna sound ike an OAP) it looks like you've hit a pothole and bent the rear axle - the car looks broken with that much camber  :laugh:

On the plus side I love the banded steels  :tongue:


I don't think a semi will give the same results
