Got some progress done while the thread was dead under gaurds and most suspension parts sprayed gloss black with my new gravity feed also ran into a little problem with the brakes on full lock the brake line thread into the calliper was touching the sway bar and causing it to be under pressure knocked that out by making up some testable rcas out of 50mm washers now just waiting on the real deal from ajps rotors are re drilled now and hubs refurbished with new wheel bearings and grease also had the wheels restored and they came back alot more cleaner then expected almost look brand new,new gas struts fitted to the boot
stay tuned

excuse size of image just to show the fitting touching the swaybar

now if u ask me this looks completely unsafe but i had them done by an engineer who has specialized in this sorta shit for the past 25 years but what are your thoughts

[timbo]

from looking at it i guess it would be fine, but im no engineer. if the other two holes are undrilled would that be enough strength? it looks like the bolts would still have enough to grab on to with out moving around freely...
