Where in london? it's a big place and area's differ, some have decent roads no speedbumps etc.. Central is the worst fuck up round there.

She lives in North London by Barnet.

And not shorter springs ;). It's hard to explain what I've done with mine over the Internet haha.

I was tempted by just helper springs. But then I realised I would be dumb haha.

If you want to know p.m me and I'll try my best to explain ;)

It's something both will and Alex did on there mk3's tho.

Wanna swap two of your barrels for two of mine i have the et15 ones? You will have a nice staggered set :ninja:

  • Author

Not sure about that mate, i will probably just space mine out to suit.. Plus i we do swap i will have to prep the new 1s. many hours i spent stripping and prepping these

Your's are 8 et15? you dont wanna alot of arch work on yours?

Nice and low and nice wheels will be good to see them on :) shame about that rot on the rear arch looks quite bad :/

  • Author

Thanks man:)

The wheels will be on by summer..you will see it then. The arch is fucked even with it repaired owell..

the whole car looks shit anyway..so it suits the car :biggrin:

Also where did you get the mounting points flipped

A place in woolwich, older guy really cool will do pretty much anything you give him..

I've got his number but will have to dig up..never answers the phone to much noise :lol:

Best bet is to go there..

Oh yeah had a brainwave about lows.. wouldnt shortenting strut tube itself give you more lows?

Shortening strut tube? That would massively affect the dampening rate tho wouldnt it? make ride a lot worse.

I need more lows haha

Looks good man :)

What did that guy do to your rear quarter panel?!

Wish mine could go down as low on standards at the front :( Mine hit the arch if I go any lower because of the tyres! Think yours are more cambered then mine ;d

Also from the pictures it deffinitely looks like Indigo Pearlescent blue, all apart from the last one :/

But yeah, keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing the alloys on 8-)

Youknow the topmount where the threads are put it on the lathe make the thread longer like an inch or so..

then cut the remaining off so it doesnt hit the bonnet. make sense?

Are man that arch :cry: a got a clean panel from the breakers.. i thought he was gonna use the whole bottom quarter cause the sill etc was damaged.. he used a torch and brazed it..

the whole arch is warpped, he said that filler would sort it. but when he did it looked crap nothing like the other side, flat and everything..

Will get a new quarter welded in when it goes for spray..if it ever does :lol:

pm'd buddy and subscribed :wink:
