looks like you need a little touch up on the o/s arch though. It's the kinda thing that can go bad quickly if you don't sort it. :D

I've parking yards away from kerbs now :P

I'd love to slam it but got to think practically, it already scrapes bumps on a 40mm if i go a bit too fast :(

Love to get some coilover's or airbad suspension when funds allow :cool:
