so yesterday i cut and re-bent the monza springs i bought of ebay. today my mechanic mate boshed them on the carlton for me. (i couldnt cos i was at work) just did the fronts for now cos I'm moving house next week so the old girls going to be well and truly loaded. i thought they come dow about 85 mm but its worked out at about 60mm cos the of the extra strength of the monza spring over the lighter carlton, might settle a bit yet tho. young master sigma gets in on the action

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

If the front end settles a bit I reckon that'd be spot on. Are they FWD? If so I recomment taller tyres on the back to fill the arches and increase the rake. Really like that car Jack

What about a simple air bag set-up on the rear? Truck bags with a cheapo compresser tucked away in a rear compartment for those all-important house moving missions?
Looking ace by the way ;D

Creamy beige on the bottom half? Would that work? I'd like to think so. Either that or break out the fablon. FAMILY TRUCKSTER!!
