Lets put it this way, I pulled up on the kerb at home, it dug a trench out of ther grass in the middle on the tow hook, still has a clump of grassy mud on it now... ;D
The front tyres were half inside the arches, with a slightlt raised rear stance, looked cool but was no good to drive, as it is now its fine...stiff shocks stop it bottoming out

i like it more now than when i first saw it, well done bud, is recaro seats straight out of a manta though? have been rather puzzled, as i didnt notice any levers on the sides of seats to suggest there from a 2/3 door motor

Thanks for the Positive comments, doing summat right for once ;D
Yup seats straight from a Manta, the levers are more or less inline with the door pillar so don't stand out too much...

Corker!! The stance makes it. Keep the rostyles in my opinion, just add roof rack ;-)

Thats stunning, never has an angle grinder been put to better use! However if you have an inch of travel left you can go a minimum of 3/4" lower

Will be fitting the 2 litre pretty soon, sat there all alone, needs to be fitted, the 1600 is a bit too slow, gutless, rattley, poo....did I mention slow?
Probably leave the 4 speed in just for comedy gearlever, its about 4 feet long.. ;D
