Its not the ride height thats causing the tyres to catch the arch it's because the King Pin Inclination will be miles out because of the adapters and wheel offset, so as you turn the wheel it will go forwards and backwards in the arch. Looking good though. Ahhhh. That makes sense ... Its catching the front bumper... I've "pruned". It a bit but don't wanna get carried away... Its only just catching now. So fingers crossed .. Tyres will sort it ! Managed to get a pair of part warns cheap ish.... Will find out at weekend !

Well.... All kinda ground to a halt ! Was poking around underneath. Both. Chassis rail / box section channeling Parts of the body had taken a pounding from speed bumps over the. Years.. But the drivers side had split where it joins at the front. Without thinking I put an axle stand on it when I had the car up...left the car in the air and the weight of the car caused it to tear it open . poo Really lost heart a bit. So packed in and left it a few days. Then thought I'd see if I could squash the sides of the box in and get it somewhere near the right shape and weld up the gap ... Wishful thinking ! I cut the end if a g clamp and welded an old socket to it Plan was to then put ratchet/ air gun on and get more force behind it Managed to get it close but still miles away... Then figured it'd be too weak anyway . Then I got carried away. Really didn't want to scrap the car as I have had so much fun over the few years I'd had it. Decided to have a go at chopping the whole length out. And see what's hiding underneath... The inside was still as new so kinda good news Bought a 3 foot length of box stuff. From the motor factors... £20 As a bonus... Took out seats n carpets £18.5 . Hiding under the seat ... So repair panel cost £1.42:) My welding needs all the help I can get ... I gave an auto darkening helmet. But under the car it was still too dark... I stuck some spotlights on my hat ! Every little helps ... As they say . Even with bonus lights... Nor pretty. But its kinda solid Few coats of seam sealer over the welded bits. To hopefully add some protection. And underseal Should have quit whilst I was ahead... Poking round the front of the floor... Where it curves up towards the engine bay... Found a crusty flake... Dug away Ar$e ! More if the same ... So hopefully that's it ! Just gotta fix fuel lines / brake lines back to the new section.. Sticky brake caliper. And raise the suspension so wheels clear, Then Mot time ! Getting there slowly !

The stretch doesnt even look too excessive !! Only down the road from Kfw ... But they thought it was him . Like ya say... What's the prib having no interior door trim and wires coming from dash !! Looks like banned just for bald tyres.

This was taken At west shore beach, Llandudno , we get awesome sunsets.. Love sitting here in my cars with a coffee. I had not long changed my phone from an apple 3 after it died wanted a cheap contract one.... Bloke in shop suggested this. Motorola moto g. I came home read the reviews n stuff... The bad points it had were the camera not being too good. Figured I could live with that... But I think the pics look OK... Better than my old iPhone

Decided that this is the year I'm gonna actually Definatly , probably fit the flares I've had since the beginning of time... Step one completed today ... Bought another pair of wheels from extreme offset wheels... Top bloke and really helpfull. He sent them to a guy he knows for banding... Now have a pair of 15x10 for the rears Really happy with how they've come out.. Welds look awesome. I just need to paint them up and get tyres fitted . As for tyres, Hoping 225 50 15 will fit OK , bit stretchy maybe ?? Will see

Bit more of a play today.. Finished the drivers side off Took it outside for a look I was pretty happy with the results.... Until I looked from this angle The rear wheels look wrong to me , they are 205 60 14 , just look too tall. The fronts are 185 60. They rub the front bumper on full lock... Decided I'm going to get 165 50. All roun . That way I'll get a bit more space in the front arches. And hopefullybe a bit easier on the eye. In the meantime I'm gonna raise the coilovers just to get it all clearing and motd . Getting there slowly tho
