That ring any bells ?


Rob

February '95' Local Guy Biagio,
Before he sold it, there was a very nice 1776 in place of the 1600 stock, and a 'Genuine set of mint Speedwell BRM'S' 8) 8)

He did not sell it with the wheels though!! think he paid a mint for them!!

Anyhow hope you like a bit of history!!

So I got them on last Sunday but forgot to update

That's how I get them on the highest setting but it didn't seem that low

So I jacked it up an dropped it

But you can't ride with the spring plate like that can you won't it knock it's brains out on the top of the housing what do all you super slammers do ?


Cheers for looking

Long over due update so to over come the spring plates not goin low enough I got some of these to help with that

Got them all fitted up an done a few more bits to make it ride nice when low an started on the interior at long last

So the ply went down first

Then the floor an interior had todo a few mods as the rear tubs made a few problems fitting it

All done an ready to roll to dubfreeze in the morning was a long day an massive thanks to tom for all the time an help you gave me

An we got to dubfreeze finally after I put the wrong postcode in my satnav never missed a beat all the way there an Back around 100mile after my mistake
