you can lower saloons a bit more than hatches depending on the offset of the wheels - because of the capacious cave like arches you can get away with a lower offset mines lowered 60 with 38 offset wheels ( i chose this as the 49 offset wheels looked lost in the arches and wanted to bring the wheels out a bit) i reckon i could go lower tho:thumb:

I'll take some recent pics of my sally if i can find my camera

thats because I have no rear springs lol

Its got monster tyres as well (195/60) so the wheels look quite big. My red one was on standard ride height with standard wheels and tyres.

I'll be lowering the blue one a little when I get the suspension done, but I'm not into slammin' rydz on da deck, yo safe innit etc... 35/40mm will do me fine.

Yup, thats the front valance trim. Haven't gotten round to fitting it yet so its still tucked up nice and safe with the other bits :D

I see you got your skirts on - did you need an extra bit to make the length, or did you manage to get them to fit?

love this one me...makes me think about starting a 4door project

craig green
10-01-07, 10:55 AM
I'm most fond of the 4 doors, something just looks better about the lines around the rear windows. I'd love to put the 3 door hatch, box arches onto a 4 door & do the rear door shuts like a Lancia Integrale.


LOL @ the rust imperfection. lol
