next was the suspension as 1 of the springs had snapped and i wanted coilovers but could not find a cheap set at all and had to get spax to make a set height and shock adjustable as all the rest were from £1200 to £1900 :o

all round coilovers were fitted with brand new top mounts as well

cheers and yes.


Dips, your car is looking excellent, the deep dish really suits it. You know the headlight washers can be split and the shell painted.
