sits about right for Spax 40mm lowering springs  Looks bloody clean though, and those wheels always look soo good on mk2 Grannys  And you have to have the rear arm rest down all the time, its better for back seat passengers when cruising B) |

Wish people wouldn't quote the entire post with photos!
That aside, looks a good one mate. Wonder why the number plate spacing is odd?

Looks spot on to me, love the colour too. What size wheels and tires are on currently? I'm hoping to drop mine soon but don't want to run into clearance issues  |

I'm hoping to drop mine soon but don't want to run into clearance issues 7 x 15 wheels with 205/50/15 Tyres - No clearance issues at all because of the wheels. Only issues I have is it is too bouncy on the cut springs so I have ordered new lowering springs and am going to chop just one off of those. |

Has it got uprated/shorter shocks? That might help with the bounciness.

Mo mate, just the originals. I have ordered new springs and will try those 1st. Think I am going to get it to sit about 40mm higher than it currently does. If that doesn't sort the ride out, I will have to save for some new uprated shocks as you say.

Finally got the underbonnet sorted today. When I bought the car, Danny told me that way back when, the previous owner had had a battery explosion which left the nearside inner wing very badly paint damaged and also the slam panel etc. My original plan was to flat it down a bit and rattle can it as best I can but when you see just how good the rest of the car is, I would have been doing it an injustice. SO.... when I found out my neighbour had a spraygun & compressor in his man shed a plan was hatched. Paint was matched by my local paint supplier and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. I have no pictures of before I'm afraid but the acid had done a fair bit of damage and had stripped all the paint off the battery tray which had started to corrode and then splattered the slam panel & inner wing :-( My neighbour Russell flatted it all off, rust treated it; hammerited the battery tray, and then masked everything up and sprayed it. I will let the pictures do the talking. The only casualty of the day was the original Air Con sticker which had been too badly damaged to survive :-( PM me if you have one...    What do you guys think. I think Danny would be pleased to see I got it done. :thumbsup: |
