has any1 else got these?????????

they r adjustable rear tie arms 2 adjust & set up the rear track spot on as the car is lowered, as this always puts the rear track out wen they r lowered, no uneven rear tyre wear 4 me then :biggrin:

got these yrs ago, got them coated so they wont rust & then i sprayed them but gonna strip the paint off & get them powder coated.

well got stuck in a bit more 2day, but i ave a prob!!! well sort of a prob.

i ave cut off the wing's & most of the front panel, just leavin the top part of the front panel at the mo 2 keep it all in line,

the question i ave 4 every1 is as i was goin 2 replace the inner wing's, upon takin off the wing's & c'in where the seam's ave rusted this only seem's 2 b the only really bad part of rot.

 

shall i leave them & repair them or shall i just replace them??? plase every1 ave a look & let me know wat ur thought's r & let me know :unsure:

if the pic's aint gd enough let me know & i'l get my wife's gd camara out & pull her out the garage...... thanx mark
