Looks a right weapon with the kit fitted! +rep
This is so good, I can't believe the amount of work you have put into it, well done and keep it up! It looks brutal!
I think looking beefy is an understatement! Be great to see how it drives now with the wheelbase.
Amazing :)

Just keeps getting better and better - awesome work..
Holy shît that looks brilliant, cracking skills :cool:
Nice!!
Awesome work pal car looks mean as **** and some really clever work gone into it :)
Awesome build and skills, keep it up
Wow the arches are huge! looks amazing dude!
Love the subframe and lower arm build, very nice.
looks great, have the compbrake track rod ends got a tapered insert that sits in the original hole on the knuckle?
look amazing
i want it lol
Thanks guys :thumb:
No, is a standard 12mm bolt. I had to drill the axle knuckle to fit, but was easily done with a hand drill.Quote:
