[mini_hammy]

well 15 posts and a think a should maybe post up now

well how she started a few months ago nice and standard

 

[mini_hammy]

then not long after a had a wee bit of money left so a decided to get some coilovers and a forge split-r dump valve and some spacers and powdercoat my wheels and the all important lcr splitter. . .get all the small stuff out the way

this is the car without the lcr splitter and coilovers on

then me and a couple of mechanic friends decided to put the coilovers on and dropped it but it was useless everywhere in ayrshire lol

 

[mini_hammy]

put the lcr splitter on and it was worse lol no clearance ftl

so i went and got it raised and then bought front lower and rear upper strut braces

and now this is how its sitting this present day no where near done but am getting there .....slowly

and a saw this pic on here and would love it to look somewhere near this

thats my pride and joy hope you enjoy

i will need to get to some of the meets you's guy have

Looks very tidy and making good progress with it! Think that cupra in the last pic is MrD's old car now owned by Ryan i think?? I know how you feel about the splitter and being low, I only put mine on for shows etc as i break them every time it's on and i refuse to raise the coilies! lol

Hold onto the wheel and push with your feet. Takes a hell of an amount of force but they come!

All be it ALOT easier with a ramp!
