	Got the wheels all stripped, etch primed, sealed and painted. 185/60/13 CF2’s on as its all my budget allows sadly. On that note I couldn’t afford to get the wheels blasted and powdercoated so I did them myself instead, really happy with them and Paul’s hard work banding them as they were really corroded and not ideal. Next step is for it to hit the deck about 4”.

	suspension on today on my day off, loving the weather as i do everything outside so its refreshing after a winter that felt like forever. turbo front shocks with lowering springs. rear is all standard, i’m a massive hoarder and went mad trying to find a set of rear shocks in my stash, i have a lot but nada. i need to pull the arches a bit, the 185/60’s are just a touch too much but too good not to install.

	Absolutely love it, cracking van there, but please can you get the paint off the OSR tyre, it's messing with my OCD I didn't even have OCD until I spotted that!

	Think it’s just tyre fitting soap traces you are seeing….. Wheels and stance are spot on 🙂, though does slightly dilute the sleeper effect. Nick

Nick Thanks all, yeah just tyre soap I haven’t washed it yet - yeah sleeper effect is gone but I had fun with it like that for a long time, its a small trade off for it now being able to go round corners signwriting update to follow but i do like it blank

	Been having a lot of fun using this, it’s rough/sketchy looking but really good to drive. I haven’t changed much, put my phase 1 turbo bumper on and ply lined and carpeted the back plus some other stuff across the board. Did 300 miles in it for RRW, really fun taking it for a good roadtrip. Short of signwriting it, altro lining the bed and some odd jobs tidying it up I’m ready to leave it and move on to the next car. If it was an only car/“priority” car I would continue to develop it but I really want to start building the Escort now.
