I converted mine, and i will NEVER go back. But then i only drive around, 10 miles a week atm, Maybe less!

I think i will feel safer in the car without the 4ws, but i will miss it. its a lot of fun when its working!

Oh well, just looking forward to having her back on the road again!

3 pages and the LG detectives have asked sod all.

So what were you doing to lose control whilst 'quite a lot under' the speed limit, and what was said limit?

Bludge · Post by **Bludge** » Mon Nov 04, 2013 6:43 pm

Said limit was 40, i was doing maybe 30 at most. it was a slippery road and i entirely blame dodgy 4ws....

And i dont know what im doing, hence giving up for the night and it having taken all day so far! lol. got the 2ws subframe bolted on and the shocks and uca's attached, and the anti rollbar. had some trouble with the trailing arm bolts so given up for the night. keep worrying i am using the wrong bolts for stuff!

It all looks pretty straight now though so hopefully i will be able to get it all finished on wednesday. then i can look to see if there is any damage on the front end....

So i finally finished the job today, 2ws subframe on, everything back together and new wheels on, set her back down on the floor and.......

The back wheel is still facing inwards

Its no where near as bad as it was, but its still noticibly wonky. any ideas? im praying that it just needs wheel alignment.
Its still a bit floaty to drive and still pulls to the left. but a massive improvement on driving it home from the crash!

Also the handbrake is a lot tighter and i think its sticking on, i think i may have twisted the cable as i couldnt get it off. can i undo it at the cabin end to untwist it?

Well done getting it finished. Hard to tell from the pics if it is mis-aligned now?

So that has all new suspension arms as well? Everything swapped over completely?

Your arches look good, btw!
