Can't honestly say exact mm , had the work done , dropped it off, told them to get rid of any arch room , showed him some pics of other lowered lupos and voila!

If he wasnt such a lazy git and could be botherd to get up a bit earlier he could have done both ceilings on one day. But just like any job, it has its pitfalls, like being mentioned, its messy .. i would say more dusty but anyway same thing. Dont think its easy this guy is knackerd after doing two walls and is soaked thru, its a very physicaly demanding job. As for being dry and warm ... well dry most of the time, but deffinately not warm ... walls are plasterd before the central heating goes in :S brrrrrr Personally i would either go for plumbing, or even be a sparky .. i couldnt see myself plasterings walls untill im 55 , why waste time now learning a new skill if you going to change again in 10 years time and start all over again ? ( thats not a dig at anyone !!!! i would love to be able to plaster a bit faster than i can) Some good points made. Alot of plasterers would have done the 2 ceilings in one day and then had another job lined up for the next day. So instead of getting £300 for 2 days work (which is still better than what im on for 5 days at my office job) they could earn an extra £200 - £300 by squeezing in another job. Yeah its deffinately not warm , usually radiators taken off not installed yet , but you do get an easy dab on while skimming up! I would love to have trained as a sparky or plumber but my monthly outgoings mean i needed a partime evening course and because their is so much to learn in plumbing and electrics you need to be full time and would take 3 years to get upto speed.. I can learn tiling aswell and if i can plaster and tile should open some doors job wise. In a few years maybe i can afford to go on a plumming course pick and choose my days at work so although i cant see myself doing it forever , for the next 5 years it should set me up nicely fingers crossed. In my head it's about having something to fall back on and if i ever got flat broke , jobless ...bang pick up my tools and get dusty! hammertime

Will be selling my eibachs after friday , they have had a 5 month , 3000 miles settlling in period ... ah just noticed you have already ordered your avo's! The spings will be a nice subtle drop , will improve looks no end hammertime

Are they leather ones? hammertime

Are you having fun driving around in it? Major differences to your daily drive - comfort , cornering ....speed bumps? hammertime

Mate have you any more pics, I think it looks spot on? Any more deatils on what lowered by front and back? Also first impressions of driving it slammed - cornering, pot holes , comfort... you getting a few more looks from people admiring it? My silverlines getting fitted friday so enjoying seeing slammed cars at minute! Hammertime

Im doing plastering at college part-time , im 25 years old and do it 2 evenings a week after work. They are like gold dust to get on tho , i got one of 10 places available out of 1300 applicants, those that missed out this year may not get on next year or the year after. its very messy and you are constantly cleaning your tools! The job is 80% preparation and 20% actually skimming on the plaster which is the easy part. Im 6 months into it and ready to start doing little jobs for cash. I worked with a plasterer for a bit and he was earning 1k a week ...working 5 days on site and then earning £500 on weekend jobs ...but he worked very hard. Just get yourself through the apprenticeship and then watch the cash roll in , it will be worth it. Even if you dont like the work its better to be earning top money and hating your job rather than earning next to nothing and hating it. Plus you can be your own boss at some point hope that helps hammertime

Just to let you all know that the BAZ who was doing the group buy on the other forum and mentioned doing something similar on here in a months times will not be able o get the FK coilovers as cheap anymore. Aparently some uk outlets have contacted FK in Germany and complained about his prices. There is an amount he is allwed to sell them for and he went way under , and under cut everyone! So FK have threatend to cancel his agreement for future sales. Luckily the orders placed this time are still being honoured!! Hammertime
