i've got some polo 6n coilover struts that im going to fit into the volvo hub/carrier hopefully will be an easy job. sleeve kit sounds good, and was my original plan, but the damper rate would be awful unless you get upgraded inserts

They might fit yes, but mcphearson is slightly different. Hopefully the plate will do it well.

Cut it bodge it weld it bodge some more !!! Slammed !!!! Simples

Looks like my old Trundle 2 that I sold to Andy P and now belongs to T.J
