Gary popped round today so that we could finally set about fitting the Moto-Build springs he bought way back in September :geek:
Other than a torn groin muscle, pulled bicep, dislocated knee, severed thumb, crushed pinky, various cuts and scrapes and several "accidental" teabags the car gave us no issues at all, although the weather was a bit guff :(
Anyway, pictures:

Just put her in the garage an already sitting noticeably lower, wonder how much more to settle? Aye aerials are something i like to change semi regular but have a plan for mine that i canna decide whether it would look good or gash - thinking on the shark fin ones to replace what i have:)
How much more did yours settle on the xpowers Ritchy??
ehmmm nit too much but it is definatly sitting lower now than it was, nah shark fins have to go on the back:P ive got a mazda3mps aerial which is shorter but has the coil in it looks pretty good:) new mazda 3 has it as standard i think and the cx7's#
i take it when ya took that pic the car hadnt rolled or somthing yet? ive seen motobuilds on a zs180 before looked much lower than that:)
oh btw scrotes done apparently guess ya know though

Thats whit bothers me boot the shark fin:D
Need to have a look at pics of your car see the aerial :)
Aye no moved at all at that point, has dropped quite dramatically at the back, with quick look i had earlier:)
Your Dad phoned to say twas ready about half 2 i think, well impressed with how quick they got it done and they even fixed the bodged back together starter motor wi a 2nd hand one, top stuff!!! All good news tempered by the fact that the nsf bottom ball joint is gubbed *sigh* lol
not really got any good pics of my aerial can see it there but its folded flatish with the roof there, that was mine just done think its a wee bit lower now, they always drop after ye morve them , the wheels splay out if ya like,
Ah yes just see it, looks neat enough there:)
Have to say yours is sitting very nicely there, don't want mine too low so will se how everything goes when settled:)
yeah mines perfect for still getting up my drive, speed bumps, getting on the MOT ramp lol, playing hide and seek if your a salamander
Well looking at it has settled already and thats only the drive back from Stuartys and sitting overnight. Not driven it any further yet:)

Oh, and as mentioned, the exhaust sticker is of questionable pleasantness with regards to my line of sight :trampoline: It's presonal taste that makes a car though, sure Gary detests some parts of mine :)
hehe, the exhaust sticker is staying:D The only thing aboot your car i dinna like is usually in the drivers seat;) :D
T'other than that maybe a couple of the switches:)
