    Hell yeah that beam cleaned up nicely, strut mounts look a lot beefier than standard too!

    Had a day on the car today to get it back together & on its wheels

    Anti Roll bar back in.



    Bushes back in



    Special tool do up the hubs!!
    Since i welded the new shock brackets on i couldnt get the allen key in, so cut one down





    Next was brakes back on




    Took longer to get back together than it did to get it off being careful not to scratch it.

    Need to lower the rear coilovers slightly as the new brackets raise the rear up slightly.

    Took it for a quick spin around the block just to make sure it all seemed ok then tucked it back into the garage.
    That was it half a days work!

    Quite enjoyed myself actually

    I've not unwrapped my beam yet, but if it look that good i'll be very happy.

    Great work dude, i never noticed your rear disc plates are put on higher..

    Hi

    No progress, quite the opposite to be honest

    Went to adjust the rear ride height today as having the new brackets welded on the rear beam it was sitting ever so slightly higher.

    Got to the rear offside & found this.




    Bid annoyed as i have no idea how its happened.

    Anyway turn a negative into a positive as i dont really think black wheels suit the car so may aswell get them all redone i think.

    What colour should i do them?

    No silly comments like green, yellow etc as that wont be happening.

    Anthracite maybe or silver or any other advise please.

    Cheers
