Tomjw Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Sooooo me and my mate finally got round to fitting the front struts! It wasn't too bad really all the bolts weren't too rusty We still need to notch and remove the ARB as its sitting on that at the moment so not getting the full drop! Also we haven't fitted the paddles or gauges properly as we just finished fitting at 10pm so it was too dark to be messing with fittings so the paddles are just hanging out at the moment until I come back off holiday next week Old vs New In (Arch needs painting, I know)Down Sitting over the tyre but still got more to give Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomjw Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Hi all Got some better pictures of how the front sits from my hols in Torquay... Still needs notching so Ive only taken pictures of the good side (Some are poor quality)Loads of random pictures... Still got to fit the rears, gauges, paddles and finish the boot install off All in good time though as I dont want to rush... Want to have it sitting perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomjw Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 *Update*Decided to invest in some Iron-X as Ive heard some good things about it as I had a lot of tar and grime on the paint and windows.By the way if you're thinking of opening the bottle to see what it smells like... DON'T! LOLGiving her a good wash before I apply Iron-X Doin' it's thang!Had fun using it just wasn't too keen on the smell but the results are amazing! I thought my car was clean after washing it then seeing it react just shows how much crap is actually stuck to the paint.After, fresh paint Super clean wheels and it also cleaned the crap off my brake discs Beading Random shot of the lows, still needs notching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
