Yer was ment to be but after 6 weeks I found out that there has been some problems with GAZ and they are being really fuuny about making the custom spec vsport kits....

These ones are produced by spax also to the Vsport spec as you can see they dont have all the spax stickers on etc but they have the spax logo engraved on all the dampers so they have deffinitly been manufactured by spax.

Im not 100% sure on whats differnt Dave did tell me but ive forgot, will get him to tell me again.

these are the later design with stainless steel struts, shorter dampers and inserts than the standard design and a choice of different spring poundages and lengths, front and back.

Had time to take some photos.
Will heres how the engine bay is at the moment with the boost pipes in place. Still needs to water piping fitting (some are finding hard to come by) wiring tidying away an a few other bits.




All gauges fitted an wiring in kick panel all done and tidyed away




Battery moved into the boot to help give room under the bay, carpets need a clean after having the engine shipped down in the boot



All Coilovers fitted (dosent sit as low as i expected)



Exhaust 90% done just waiting on a flange and backbox parts to finish off, full exhaust is made for 316 mandel bent stainless pipe all TIG welded.




Enjoy

Engine came with no pipes at all.
I think these where all samco type pipes and he wanted to keep them.
There was a few other bits missing on the engine which i have had to sorce but these things happen
