Is that spring seat ment to be that way up?....

well spotted lol, that was a picture of a failure on my part. also notice the rust spot too lol

thanks allot, some pretty positive feedback. i still don't know about the splitter too but it makes it look mean as fuck from the front, wish i could make the rest look the same lol.

i'm honoured I'm smiling like a gimp on your desktop haha

wheel specs are 13x8 but the offset is crazy. it's sitting with only 5mm spacers in it in them pics!

i had the arches rolled an extreme amount before i fitted the fibreglass arches but it wasn't painted and was really rough, think i cut about 2 inches or a little more off it.

How do you change the headlining? Because it seems to be just wrapped fabric. Help would be amazing dude

searched for ages on a tutorial or some help and couldn't find anything apart from "it's too hard". to be honest, it's pretty annoying to do and unless your extremely careful you will need to replace your windscreen like i did.

1: take out your 2 rear windows with a screw driver and allot of careful pushing

2: take out your windscreen with a screw driver and VERY careful pushing with a friend on the other side of it

3: pull the wire mid sections that hold the roof liner up (they slot into small metal clips at each end but easily pull out)

the rest is up-to yourself, i decided to bond my new roof liner on-to my old one and then place it back in although you could maybe make a new one if you can sew or are willing to pay for it. if your using heavy fabric like mine you will need to bend the mid sections and play about with it a bit to make it tight and sit properly.

hope this helps. good luck! the windscreens a real hassle tbh lol
