Stance wise it's how I bought it, but I think it's one spline at the rear, and it's had beam adjusters welded in the beam my tyres are 185/60/14 fronts and 195/70/14 rears

Not be long til mines on the road hopefully :msn4: :lol: definately up for a meet plenty of meets happening around notts soon when the weather picks up

The rides spot on 8) not hard at all and just enough lowering that it doesn't bottom out or catch, except the number plate on speed humps :msn4: :lol:

Had a few hours today, fitted a few bits then needed to turn it round so I could get the front dogleg ready to top coat so I couldn't resist a blip round the block :msn4:


(Video)


I know the valence isnt on but the paint was still wet :lol:

It just needs a bloody good clean as well and once that's done fit the bumpers etc :mrgreen:

Had a job cancel at the last minute, so today's been a man cave day :msn4:

Fitted the valence, rear bumper, and engine hatch seal

And the splash pan brackets I've had for about a year :lol:

And finished off some gauge wiring

Then tested to see how accurate it is

And because I'm running a dip stick temp sender I've got to carry the dipstick so I can check the level, got a few neodymium magnets left over from when I had my curtains made, saves me losing it :lol:

And also gave the cab a good clean
:mrgreen:

 

[gninnam]

Engine bay now looking top 8)

Love the magnets for the dipstick - great idea

Been a busy boy today (watching my bro in law :msn4 done a swap, done him some plumbing and he's painting my arch, afraid to say when he's done it'll make the rest of my paint look shit :lol: (he's just finished restoring a db5)

First time I've shadowed someone who does this for a living and I'm in awe I haven't got no where enough patience :lol: he was there 8 hours, fitting the door adjusting the gaps, etching, filling, rubbing down, sealing, de-greasing, masking, and bagging, 2k priming, and he's coming back in the week to wet and dry all the primer to get it ready to basecoat laquer and blend in :shock: learnt so much too so when it comes to me changing the other arch and doing the front valence, and doors next winter, my finish will be loads better 8)

 

[68_early_bay]

Oh and I've found my next new toy, infa red heat lamp 8)
