Ok been busy Thursday and friday as i had both days off work.

As you can proberly guess ive worked on the car.

I popped down to my mates who gave me a hand fitting it all.

First things first went to buy some tyres - I went for some nice Uniroyal Rainsports. 195/45/15 ovcourse



Got them fitted



And Balanced





Then went back to start fitting all of this



Started to take the old suspension off and build up the new struts



And obviously fitted them







Then moved onto the back, we thought this was going to be tricky as weve never done the backs before but it was actualy even easier than the fronts.









We were then basicly finished.

Got a few piks of the car done but it wasnt clean and the suspension hadnt had chance to settle in so looks a tad high at back.

Such as this one



I appologise for some piks as they were off phone.









Quick clean with claybar



And this is how it stands today




Hope you like

Still need to get 4 new arches on, touch up some body work and sort centre caps if i decide to put them on.
