Guest adamk Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) Ok iv finally droped her arse. Before After Rear springs were still to high, so i cut them, and set my self on fire in the prosses, While a m8 just sat there reading the paper, i ran out the door rippin me trousers off screaming. The fitter shocks and springs Shock wasnt attached at the top, and car was jacked right up, tought this looked funny.

Guest adamk Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Iv done the doors today. The windows would stick near top, as the moters couldnt get them up that last bit. I oiled and gressed the runner for electric, and fitted some insulation. The insulation acts as noise redution and helps tithen up the pannels redusing rattles. also keeps any heat in the car batter.. Car with the 17's back on her, they are staying on her, i have the center caps of my cab on her for now, ( As they had Alfa badges on them) till i get new ford stickers for them.
