while the car was at keiths we had the rear axel,bottom arms,tie bars, tie rod brackets,hubs,engine mounts,and anything else we saw fit sand blasted ready to go be powder coated

also brought avo coilovas and a full set of polly bushes 2.0l brakes with drilled vented and grooved disks a new sill 2 brand new mk2 front wings and to new rear arches next up trial fit coilovas to the rear and check clearance!

trial fitting of the coilovas they clear by about 4-5 ml so should get away with it seems as its on brand new pollys ect. note the axel has been hammerited in these pics! well craig decided that he would see how well they turn out with brush paint.:wtf: what a mess is all i could say so we ended up having it powder coated yet again lol

once the main body work was done it was converted back to a basic rolling shell due to manoverability(sp) and changing sheds then it was a case of trial fitting the body pannels pack it up and send it off to be sparayed
