Respect for the turn around some serious work done, engine looks great and it looks good stance wise. I could never practically run as low as some of you guys because of farm tracks.

So did you bend up the inner arch on the rear? or has it been completely trimmed off? from what I can see it looks aesthetically good.

I'm going to have to do something to mine to fit a 185/60 13" tyre but I want to make sure it's going to stand the test of time and I don't want sharp edges. I might manage to use spreader clamps or even a bottle jack just to get a bit more clearance as I only need about 5mm.

Last week you would have almost certainly got carb freezing with that air filter(looks great mind), with this milder weather you should be ok.
