hodge112 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 really starting to come together looks good fella Cheers dude So a bit of a productive day today, i took the coilovers from the front of the mk2 and put them on the lupo, the main reason for this being the ones on the Lupo were seized solid, and wouldn't go low enough.Did that then gave the Lupo a quick wash, and took a couple of pictures. ignore how the rear sits because i'm going to wait until i fit the Rotas before i mess with it. I also need a chassis notch now tooI've been on and off the drive like twice...Need to take the ARB off tommorow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge112 Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 ARB taken offWhilst i was under there, i noticed there's no exhaust clamp joining the downpipe to the cat, and the sump at some point has had a really big hit and got a massive dent in itSo yeah bit of a bummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
