The height is back to normal now, with all the seats back in.

However - project maybe coming to an end now

The car got badly keyed last night, obcenities scratched into both doors, the bonnet and both rear quarters, and I'm only insured third party, so I may sell the car as it is and buy another as I can't afford to get it resprayed

Its fucking horrible, must be said

I'm tempted to jack in my part-time job and leave my car at home permanently, as I know it will be safe there

Right, time for another update!

I have decided not to do anything about the keying until at least Easter, and probably the summer, hopefully before PVS though!

I received a set of MHW's from Marklaruk a couple of months ago, so fitted them earlier in the week but unfortunately have no photo's of them yet apart from one when fitting:



However, today I have been fitting new front suspension top mounts and my V6 brakes, which has one-off spigot rings to centre the Fiat Coupe brake discs

So, pictures:

old, which were 1.6 callipers and standard size 256mm discs, which you can see are Red Dot 20 groove discs.




And the new, which are Vectra V6 callipers, Fiat Coupe 284mm discs of the Black Diamond drilled and grooved variety and Ferodo DS2500 pads.

So, after a small amount of grinding to allow the wheel to fit over



Apologies for the poor pictures, I need to grind the other calliper tomorrow so I can fit the other wheel, then bleed both callipers so I can go driving!

Since ground a tiny bit more of the callipers so they fit perfectly, and they have been bled but not quite bedded in yet as can be seen on the inner edge of the disc:




Also went for a blast around the Welsh hills last week and got a couple of snaps:

Still not been resprayed Hopefully getting it done in the Summer.

I did the drivers side myself due to thr crudity of the comments, as can be seen here:



Like my handywork?

Didn't bother with the passenger side though, as it isn't too visible.

Actually, need to get some pics of the underside of the car - Currently got a Janspeed 4-2-1 and a custom de-cat on there, with the SAI removed.

I like the skirts too
