Looks real nice mate, wish mine was as far forward as yours, i started a thread in here on saturday. Mine's a million miles off!!


Out of interest, whats the rear top shock mounts like on yours? mine have rotted out so i'm going bite the bullet and fit rear wishbones, shocks and tie rods from a car.
