Changed plans a bit as the air suspension seemed too much of a compromise and hell of a problem to package the front suspension confines.... Before the change in suspension did you have any air suppliers recommendations in the uk ? Sorry for the late reply, I tried several places near me, and all seemed to be a bunch of t.ossers, if it wasn't VW then it wasn't suitable for bagging.

My son has just fitted some 600 x 600 led panel lights in his workshop, the light output is superb. On the strength of your comment, and the lack of headroom in my new workshop, I purchased a panel, TBH I was sceptical but I'm impressed with the 30w panel, so is the missus, as its over the washing machine in the garage,

Not that Long ag my cousin asked me to help service her partners car, A Proton Gen2, she had bought it with5k on the clock and 6 months old, it was now 75k and 6 years old, looked inside the plug holes and it appears the plugs had never been removed, I asked when it was last serviced, I was told I changed the air filter last year and had new front pads a coupe of years ago..... I was not going to be the person who was going to shear off the plugs, so I declined to do the service, I was then told the brake pedal goes to the floor now and then, what happens then I ask, "oh I top up the fluid and its OK", how often? Every day now, was the answer, Has a look under the rear of the car and the N/S calliper was soaking in brake fluid, told him to push the pedal, and fluid was squirting out of the handbrake spindle. I told him he needed a new calliper, and then told him to get it towed to the local garage and get it fixed. 6 months later my cousin called again and said she was having trouble getting a calliper for the right money,!!! What was done at the garage I asked? , they gave Her partner a plastic hose clamp that he fitted to disable the rear brake, which he duly fitted and drove the car about with the brakes disabled for 6 months, Neither of them thought anything of doing this, I ending up calling them a pair of See you next Tuesdays, .... not only for that but a Litany of other lethal bodges including wiring up a cooker backwards Neg and Pos Switched, and in 13a 2.5 twin and earth, and fitting a steel sink next to it, and much much more, after the brake issue, and me being told it was down to me that the brakes were not fixed?? I haven't talked to her for 3 years

As far as I am aware you only need a licence for an airgun if it has a self contained gas cartridge to 'power' it. None must not be used within 15mtrs of a road, the pellets cannot leave the grounds from where they are shot and guns cannot be carried openly in a public place. The laws on firearms or replicas of anything that purports to be or could be mistaken for a firearm are tortuous but supposed to be designed to protect everyone. You only need a license if its power is greater than 12 ft-lbs. CO2 and pre-charged pneumatic ones aren't automatically above the limit. It's a bit of an odd setup, blurred because of previous legislation, but you need no permit or registration for an "air rifle" provided it's below the legal limit for power. If it's above the legal limit, regardless of how it's powered/constructed, the law does not regard it as an air rifle, but instead as a "firearm", for which you need a full Firearms Certificate, which requires more than one hoop to be jumped through to obtain. All I'm going to say is..........nitrogen @ about 2000psi, Errrr interesting!!!!!!

Great work have you sourced the air bags yet? Changed plans a bit as the air suspension seemed too much of a compromise and hell of a problem to package the front suspension confines....

What about a 7AFE and retrofitted with a 4AGE head, gives you a 1800 4AGE

As some of you are aware I have been having a dilemma over the colour of the van Grey or Green, well, after watching the Goodwood members meeting, I decided I quite liked the Green that Nick Swifts Mini is painted, after a message was sent to his company, I never got very far other to say it was a bespoke colour.... called Willow Green, Funny I thought, Willow Green is a BMC colour on early 60s minis, Did a bit more research and sort of confirmed the colour of his car is indeed BMC Willow Green..... Result.... So on the way home I stopped off at my local paint factors and purchased a couple of WILLOW GREEN aerosols, mixed to my request while I wait, Rushed Home on a mission, and rushed out into my garage, tin in hand and proceeded to paint my dash in a nice shade of green.
