The MG is technically up for sale, not to bothered if I sell it though as I like it too much lol. The Metro is the most recent addition ( got it Tuesday ). Plans are for either a turbo engine or K series, not sure yet

Positive camber is a sure sign that it needs lowering Looking very tidy there now

Plans are to get it lowered at some point and sort the rest of the bodywork as well as the interior. Have the option to put in an Sr20de into it that my mate has laying about... Only got one other car atm, a Volvo 940 estate that is halfway through a transformation to 300bhp with proper suspension

Volvo is my main project right now, has a bloody great blitz dump valve on it which is always good for confused looks ;D Triumph's rear will be sorted don't worry lol. Funnily enough the Triumph was sprayed in Horsford. Austin 7 you say? Any good for a Special? My dream car is an Austin 7 Special...

Soon to be some progress! Had the MOT about a month ago which she went straight through with 0 advisories which I was damn happy about! Been thinking about it for a while now but finally got round to sorting suspension and have just purchased some GAZ ride/height adjustable suspension, rear lowering block and a bucket load of bushes. Now gotta wait for delivery! Oh and here's a random recent pic ;D

Very nice ! that style of two tone looks far better than a simple stripe down the side What width are the wellers - 5.5j ?

Cheers! Went for that style of two tone as I had the front and rear valance replaced and trying to match the paint was a pain. As it happens it just makes it that bit different The Wellers are 5" if I remember right, not entirely sure! My mate just had them sitting around and pretty much gave them to me so just put them on! They were painted the same time as the other bits. Thinking of having them banded slightly to fill the arches more, will see how I feel once she's lower

Well that lot tick's all the right boxe's, Just a couple of things Mr speedy on here fitted 1inch lowering block on the back and found he kept bottoming out but guess you maybe able to sort that with the adjustable rear shox. Also my dad had the poly bushes on the rack but found it sent too much movement back into the steering wheel and mad it uncomfortable to drive. Does yours have a front anti roll bar as thats a useful upgrade you can get the fitting kit from rimmers or canley classics. Banded weller's will look right with a bit of lowness
