See my WIP if you can find it. 1st page or so.

I said this Craig, and im sure mike would but at the mo he's not flush enought to buy any rear coilovers, he's using my old spax RSX spring/shock kit

Keith if we could find a doner car for pennies it would be done!:thumb:

Done some more work on my car. I took my fuel tank off thought it was good idea as im going to be welding next week on the rear chasis leg and it needs a clean and paint up.

I also made a plate to go inside the chasis leg to strengthen the spring cup part of the chasis will be welding monday hopefully. Just need to clean up inside the chasis leg.
