Default Finished the suspension

Finally got the rear end done with B4'S and Lesjosfors 40mm lowering springs.

I think it's a nice subtle drop and looks great ( I know I'm biased )



Also a picture of the old girl to show how gorgeous she is

Thanks Ian

It's taken me a while from when I got her ( free ) in 2018. I dread to think how much money I've spent but I've loved every single minute of it. I've learnt so much about these cars in the process as well

Still have a big list of little jobs to do so should keep me busy for a while yet

Hi Mark,

Triggers looking great in the sunshine, and looks like you've already given him a pre birthday wash and polish. Now the weathers getting better I must get round to a full machine polish on mine but so many other jobs to do first😀

Don't think about adding the cost up😲 every time I go on fleabay I seem to find something that i 'need' or will be handy to have just in case!! just file the invoices to keep up records.

Something quite nice about having the oldest car in the car park😀

Long may Trigger continue!!

Cheers
Steve

When you removed the stock springs was there a spacer (14) above the spring?
