Default Only supposed to be fitting my coil overs.....

now doing the full front end and clutch.

got my coil overs yesterday and was going to fit them tonight but need poly bushes fitting and a gaitor.

while its all in bits i have decided to fit the paddle clutch and the quick shift gear lever.

might aswell fit the rear shims as i'm working on the backend.

Why do little jobs on cossies turn out BIG jobs all the time.

New set of tyres on order too, all ready for the ring.
