Test drive today :)
I hope I've cut enough out of the wheel arches??
Taking her and the wife to the Easter Monday spring vehicle meet and auto jumble. Wyke Down , Andover , Hampshire .

Got another hour or so of tinkering then I'm off :)

Hope to see you there - you can examine my headlight ring!

Back home now :( missed ya!
If you get this before you leave I only live 1.5 miles away from the show you are welcome to pop round so I can check out your lights .
Could even drive to meet you ?

Hi, sorry I missed you at the show. I couldn't stay long as I 'discovered' I had agreed to a family day.

Happy to meet though - I live in Southampton so not far away. I will PM you with my email address.

How did the lowered suspension work? Too harsh or not?
24 Apr 2014, 7:58pm
The suspension was good. Firmer, but as my old shocks were shot anything else would be firmer!
Got the adjustable s set to 4 so still have some more movement to make it softer( or harder)
Went round the corners really flat, pot holes were a pain though, but always are.
