Bits and pieces

[BenMagan]

Just a quick update on what I've done, and what I have to do :L

40mm lowering springs on the front, lowering 2 nicks on the back this Saturday
Gloss black 306 DTurbo alloys, IMO they are lovely
Colour coded the badges
Just picked up MK1 VTR interior (door cards front and rear, and seats front and rear.. the tiger strip effect ones lol) so I will be fitting them tomorrow

Bringing to mates garage on Saturday to do a head gasket :/ mates rates though (Y)
As I said, lowering the back too
Planning on getting a getting exhaust system soon too..

I reckon I should make it into a VTR rep, any thoughts?

AAaaahhh.. Will hopefully get some up tomorrow

Lowering by notches can damage the axle and ultimately fuck your car iirc. Don't hold me to it though.

Some pictures now

Colour coded badges and chevrons



Here she is, lowered on the front, but not the back, Doh!


And heres the DTurbo alloys with some nice white bolts


More pics will be put up when I get my new interior all fitted

at least get it lowered the right way not by clicks/notches/nicks

its no harder to do it right and you wont destroy your beam

The right way? What other way is there to lower a torsion bar?

the correct way is to remove the bars themselfes leaving the arms in place
reset the arms height the desired amount
and re insert the torsion bars

no disturbing bearings in the process and no twisting loads on them after

[BenMagan]

Thats the way I meant lad, sorry about the confusion

[BenMagan]

The VTR seats getting a clean before there fitted

[BenMagan]

Finally have everything back together (Y)

Need recommendations for what to do with the engine bay, its completely standard and pretty rusty :/

[BenMagan]
