Dont bother plating them imo.
Looking good, I would just have another play with the grinder to get those spacer plates sitting flatter if you aint happy with them.

Rear mount is sorted, it seems to straighten itself properly when bolted to the box. Don't want to start grinding various bits off in the hope they sit flatter in case I weaken it too much.

Spuddy, still not convinced the arms need boxing out, I'll do some more research.
Rear mounts fine as i've been saying on msn.
I dont like plated lower arms.
good progress looks like the same person will be painting both our cars lol
Bottom arms are meant to bend for a reason....
To save your chassis.....
Yeah? Cool. I'm hoping to take mine down in the next week or two but depends how busy he is.Quote:

I was talking to Phil from JNC who worked with a lot of Novas and Corsas, and he said he had seen a lot of Corsas written off because of the plated lower arm. Kinda puts me off as I don't want to be scared to drive it fast.
What am I painting in preparation for a LET? lol
Ahh! Me first please? :cry:Quote:
