hi ryan

thats the best thing you could have done was to buy a complete car


it's alot hard to do a car from bear shell you dont realise how much stuff you need to get it on the road

atleast with this car you can sell the bits you dont need

I can 100% agree with this, my guess of 3 months turned into 7

yes the hight isnt to bad now Ryan even without me in it

It does catch a little still now though and my front arches are level with the metal now. I think im going to remove the front kit and have the metal arch rolled then refit and trim some more. I would like it sitting a little lower really anyway.
