So today I managed to get stuck in with fitting the rest of the interior, Front door cards all fitted with new door card clips, Next up was to remove the existing dashboard To make way for this,

As some members already are aware I had a very special interior lined up which I collected on Friday. I took the long drive up to Dunfermline to pick this cargo up which ended up in a 1200 mile round

Just to keep this alive, not many updates to speak of other than it's running superb, Attended ultimate dubs back in March and took the trip over to Dubshed in April, here's a few pics from the past

right, still got some brand new oem mudflaps for front and rears to fit but as im going lower im unsure now and think it may look a little odd as well as catching every where, got a few more updates too but will take some pics when i get some time away from work in the daylight. :)

My rear calipers had seen better days and decided not to work so picked up some replacements and gave them a coat of paint ready for fitting tommorow.

Heres a quick pic of the car getting its mot, just needed a front nearside abs sensor after i got my replacement rear calipers fitted, so now has a fresh mot, not bad for a 18 year old car. struggled a little bit on the ramps in the garage, managed to get it on with what looked like some old railway sleepers ;)

So with the new mot decided to fit my new lights and give it a quick wash and polish.

im unsure mate, the suspension was fitted when i purchased the car but when i have cleaned the dampers up its running some fk fronts and bilstein rears with lowered springs, im guessing 35-40mm.

...But also has some grayston spring assisters so when i take them out at the weekend it will sit a bit lower, i guess a previous owner fitted the springs and thought it sat too low :)
