cheers guys! im really happy with this car, in wicked condition, still to find the first bit of rust!
my next plans are to sort out the exhaust, its currently a quick custom job at the back that nev made up which was fine with the ats cups on but now its lower it knocks on the axle then i can go little lower on the back as ive had to higher it a tad for the minute. coilovers on the front soon, with added steering lock and camber adjustment. then next year some sort of engine transplant. interior is completely standard im not into the stripped malarky especially when its my daily. the amount of looks i get and people coming up to me is rediculously, they love it!

looking good, take it its the 5-link that was advertised here? Glad it went to someone on here, i was gonna get it but my money don't come through for a bit :(

I'm guessing it mounts on the 2 forward leaf spring mounts and the radius arm mount and something similar at other side if the mount isn't already there and all them on polys? then the's the panhard rod with a mount that needed to be welded to the floor somewhere

Aye would have thought that. I've seen the one on the SR360 but wondered if this one was different in any way.

This is the exact same kit as the Sr360, Ill get some pics tho soon!
Theres a lot of brackets that need welding on the chassis and the axle also the fuel tank has to be moved back abit. Few other bits that need doing too. I'll be having front coilovers soon and I'm sorting my exhaust so ill see how low it can go with out destroying the underneath, it does look pretty mean now!
