I know :D

I have talked to the guy now, and he is sending me 4 shocks next week. I payed 3000sek for them, that's approx 230£. He told me that the shocks are a bit stiffer than the original gas shocks. I have heard that they are nice and stiff from others.
I am hopefully driving around with new shocks next week, ill let you know how they are and how to get in touch with the sales guy

cool, I'm mostly interested in front dampers for now, to match my stiffened springs and replace the shagged ones currently on the car!

Keep us posted!

Cheers

Little update here, not much is happening since I have moved away from my tools and garage this fall, but i am moving back when i am finished with my studies before christmas.
The new shocks are at my old place, going back there next week and i hope i can find time to fit them :D



Replaced the way to small and slippy Luisi Wheel with a wery nice deep Sabelt one;

Thanks man love your`s too!


I have a little vacation so i drove the 400km home..

Changed my dampers, first i took the rears.
Image


Then front:

Image

Image


A little disappointed over the rear dampers, not stiff enough.. But the front became stiff so I'm happy :D

Getting the chair body is a shit job, here is the old chair a bit terrorized :wink:
Image

So i don't need back seat as I'm have two buckets, so they are gone:
Image

And i started the mighty fun job with removing the sound deadening
Image

A couple of hours later:

More to come tomorrow!

I used to use 240 roof skins for repair patches and the best way I found to get it off was to set it on fire and use a paint scraper. Not so advisable in a car though :lol:

About the same weight as mine. Without me in the car and half a tank my car comes in at 960KG although I reckon the cage is taking up alot of that weight which I think i'm gonna get rid of (it's only made of scaffold pole, otherwise i'd keep it if it were a proper cage)

Scaf tube is way over kill for a cage. You be better off using thick wall exhaust tube for a DIY cage.
