Wwmnw's MK2 SR project

Got a new rack delivered yesterday so I got some new track rod ends fitted to it and connected that up

Connected one ball joint up but the bolt for the other side that goes through the hub snapped :( connected the track rod ends up as well, gonna have to unbolt the ball joints from the arms later when I get some tie bars sorted out but it gave me something to do anyway lol

Yesterday and today consisted of stripping the red Nova down as its been sold and got taken away today :) good luck to the new owner as I'd love to see that looking nice again.

So today I did finally got the car on the ground :d its sitting too low so once I've got the tie bars on its gonna be coming up an inch or so, although there is a bad side :(

3mm spacers didn't help either :(

Used a No Fear energy drinks can to demonstrate how low it sits

I also spent god knows how long looking for the keys which have magically vanished :mad: :cry:

Tomorrow will involve running the brake lines for the fronts, fitting the clocks and seats and hopefully changing the rear suspension so I can give a mate his shocks and springs back, he's only been waiting 6 months :(

Win. It's coming on now mate. Are you painting the rest of it?

What wheels you running? Sh!tter about them still touching the coilovers!

One needs a big refurb, the rest are ok-ish but could be better, but they'll do til I can afford some decent wheels :)
