cdem 0 Posted August 20, 2011 Got a bit of an update. Took the car for a MOT in the week, wouldnt fit on the ramps in the first garage and in the second she failed the MOT on corroded brake lines and a few petty things like the rear number plate light. Brake lines and hoses are all being replaced this weekend and the other bits are all sorted :D Also ordered some goodies, just got wheels and new coilovers to get now and ill be pretty happy...just the rust patches to sort out then. Was nice to get back out driving it to the MOT station and have several people comment on it :D Fingers crossed ill be driving her again this week!!

Redfox 10 Posted September 3, 2011 Congrats, that's a very nice and seriously low car. Very nice indeed ;) When I installed my coilovers, I couldn't get the jacks out, and had to raise the suspension, next was when I reversed the car out from the drive in to the road, I headr some clanging, so raised it again, and next was the stupid speedbumps, so back to the block and raise it a little mor. Then it was fine. Tou must have seriousle track-like roads around you. I would like taht too in Denmark, where I live. Cheers, Redfox. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cdem 0 Posted September 3, 2011 Thank you :) The roads are not amazing around here but so far ive had no problems. I live on a building site and the road hasnt been laid yet but i have had no problems so far. Its took alot of messing around, when i first dropped it the sump was pretty much on the floor and i wasnt going to risk that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cdem 0 Posted September 4, 2011 Having to raise it up a bit as the wishbones keep catching. Also need to get the arch lips either folded back or cut off as they keep catching the tyres. I havnt tackled the speed bumps at work yet either :S Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cdem 0 Posted September 25, 2012 Not updates this recently. Nothing has changed really apart from that I have changed the grille back to standard Rolling shot on the way to players Hoping that next year I can afford to get the body work sorted :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
