well its all about the suspension

been busy collecting parts and finally got some time to work on the car

with this car i want it to handle as well as it looks and goes, so many people spend fortunes n making it go fast and dont spend anything on making it handle correctly!

heres some pics of the components ive been collecting!

these were a right pain in the arse to get as compbrake were so unreliable but finally got them right after about 2 months! custom top mounts for my gaz gold coilovers them took them to steve stripe of XWORKSS and got him to make the platforms the top mounts bolt too!


bit of surface rust as been sitting in the garage for a few weeks!


attached to one of the coilovers






mix it up with a bit of kustomkarls suspension set up from the states


here with the new ball joint fitted




today we started to prep the shell, starting with the top mounts, me best bud dan made up a jig to make sure the top mounts were perfectly fitted and at the right angle




then cutting could commence




with the jig on this is what was left


then jig off and clean up ready for the new top mounts to be fitted



Hey Presto




cleaned all the welds up and eched primed them for some anti corrosion, once car goes to the bodyshop they will be seam sealed and filled as my engine bay is going smooth and euro looking!!




now i can tick one of about 150000 things off the list of things to do!!!
