It's taken a lot of work, especially since I'm an amateur but it's running, no problems with fuel lines, lowered it 35mm, once I work out how to add pics to this I will get some up, just need side skirts to finish it off, hopefully passes the mot next week!!

If you have lowered it make sure to get a wheel alignment done

Still can't get that dam thing to work lol

, yeah I need 4 new tyres anyway so that's getting done mate, but I'm very happy with the progress, I just need to work on it as I go, upgrades and little visual things, although I do have spittle arch rust and the thing needs a paint job I recon

Is yours a 4WS?
If so, be sure that the tyre bay can align the rear wheels correctly.
