The shocks were pretty much non existent man, they were standard with 80/60 springs so you could imagine how bad they were.

It was a bit low for me too, The shocks and springs are on now along with wishbones (polybushed), top mounts, new nuts and bolts up front and another arb (polybushed) off pettsy seeing as we snapped it.

So lots has happened under neath the body, including suspension and steering revamp, it drives soo much better now I'm really starting to enjoy it again.

Next plans are a big cambelt service and new shoes.

I just put my red stripe back on a realized how much of a difference it made.

looks great slim!

Two of the possible sets of wheels to go on, I've had four sets but still not mounted tires on any. I would really like to band the standard steels to 7 and 7.5 and get some new trims for them.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

hocks look good with those black centres
