Work started

I think now days that's par for the coarse if a car gets scratched unless you've got a good paint shop guy who knows his stuff, don't take that the wrong way if you are a sprayer.
I am a sprayer and blowing in is every day for us, even on brand new cars,
 
Well here we are arrived at body shop new doorsills strapped to side in the box wings inside the car and front and rear bumpers in disco Next time I see her she will have changed her colour from black to candy red, can't wait.

Interesting colour change - hope all goes well - and look forward to seeing the finished job!
 
Just looked at them photos and yes it is a cattle shed lol is a farm that is diversifying a lot of its sheds into industrial units, which seems to be the norm for so many of the smaller farms these days.
 
Did you do all the prep work yourself? ie sanding, filling etc?

Sorry for delay answering our net work is playing up, yes i have done everything so far myself mechanical and body work strip off.
 
He says 2 weeks should cover it. It's going to be a long 2 weeks bet I sneak over to Marlborough before though.

Yes did all the work but there is no filling all new panels going back on with just two small plates being welded into the end of the chassis at front end which is tucked neatly behind iner plastic protection arches right where all the dirt collects.
 
Springs look good :thumbsup:

Can't wait to see how she sits after their fitted, as I'm looking at replacing the springs on mine at some point this year. Not sure which ones to go for. Been looking at the Eibach Pro Kit, which lowers 30mm front and rear.

Got the very same on mine, Bilstein B12 shocks and Eibach 30mm lowered springs. Work and loom great :D

I won’t be doing this job until middle of February I’ve a few days off but when done I will post some before and after pictures. I am hoping I’ve not gone to ambitious going down 40mm but I have measured it and it should all clear ok.

40mm does clear ok but I think you have to go easy on spacers from what I have read

I’m not putting spacers on as I think with the wider wheel I’ve put on rear it’s filled out the arch ok. They are 9” on rear 8” front.
 
It all depends on the off set bud
Yes that’s what I had a problem with when I bought the wheels, don’t ask me what the of set is on the rear all I know is I have about an inch and a half dish on outer lip on rear compared to what was on before. New and old.

If they are level with the top of the arch you might be stretching it dropping by 40mm, I dropped mine 30mm on eibach pro kit and with 10mm spacers on the front I managed to wear through the liners whilst hard cornering, however my shocks where knackered and the issue has gone since fitting new ones.
