Not sure if theres a difference in feeling though due to the SR's being rubber and the GTE's being painted

Nah, just the standard Gaz GHA kit. The springs are just the ones Gaz supply too. I'm pretty sure it's just a bog standard GHA kit but I got them second hand so can't be certain.Quote:

Was gonna paint a few other bits and bobs and sort the calipers out but cba. Will get it all finished when I'm back again in a couple of weeks and then it'll be MOT time!
.
That top part of the damper doesn't seem to sticking out the top of the nut very far ? not as far as mine did ?
Maybe try them without those spacers ? Take the springs off then just bolt up the topmounts with the spring seat (black bit on top of the spring) and nip them up, if the black bit is clamped up then they'll be ok, if there still loose then you'll have to run with the spacers.
Mine where early GAZ shocks, later ones might be different ?
Aye, I did think about leaving the spacer off as they don't stick through far. Just stuck with them though. Will no doubt whip them off AGAIN next time and see what's what. Did the spacers slot over the slightly thicker part of the piston and sit on top of the spring seat on yours? They're not quite wide enough to do that mine and are just kinda loose before the weight of the car is put on them (seems dodgy).Quote:

Older ones are likely different to the newer ones.
Fairdoos, thought that would be the case.Quote:

Wheels, id consider the new OldSkool re-issue flat face Mo's that Reyland have got in (Check them out thay are stunning and not on a nova yet) in 16"'s or go with something different other than the usual mo's TH's Sheeplines ect
Choose your wheels very carefully as they could really set this Car out from the crowd :thumb:
Looking good mate. How did you tighten the top mount nut? (seeing as you cant get to the piston flat)
Was just able to get an 8mm spanner to hold the flat whilst I did up the topmount nut. Didn't put it on really tight as I was pretty sure they'd have to come off again and the spacers taken out. They'll stick through alot more once I've done this.Quote:

Cheers for all the comments!
Reece, I'll still have those calipers off you if you still have them? I'll be back again in 2 weeks so we'll sort it out then if thats ok?
nebother matt! just give me a shout when your back and we will sort it out,still got em like.
Good work matt! You've got to love the coolness of old school mk1's :thumb:
Got a couple of bits done today. Was expecting some calipers to be dropped off but the fella never turned up. Got my coilovers set up better, gonna get some spacers made up to stop any movement between the topmount and the spring seat though.
Anyway here's a few pics I took just for the sake of this thread...
Spacer that didn't quite fit so was removed (supposed to fit over the wider part and sit on the spring seat)...

How the topmounts are now...
http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...t/7a6f4ab5.jpg
Fitted up again. This time the piston flat sticks through nicely...

it is the bollocks this car. Awesome.
Looks really good mate, I wouldn't of been able to stop myself making a sport replica out of it, is it missing wheel bolts in the side shot?
Cheers dude!Quote:
