Nice one.
What ride height you got on the sport?

Interior come up nice with gliptones. Well worth it. Dont look as good close up i rushed it and left a few splodges in places but and through window and camera looks well.

Ride height is standard I think. Changed the back shocks with some boche turbo ones from gsf . They were supposed to be like the original sport ones so Im guessing its just how it was supposed to be.

All standard pretty much

I was told on advisory that there is slight play in inner rack.
Whats that mean and will that make the steering a bit woolley?

Thats the thing, you dont need such a mint set to start with. As long as its not completely fckd up , just cracks and colour loss its still worth getting some gliptones.

Any one can do it even

that rear doesnt look standard it looks slightly lowered.. might just be about a -30mm setup all round. just to make it look a bit better but not too low like mine lol.

Not sure what springs are on it to be honest, I just changed the shocks for what i thought we standard spec ones.

well yours doesnt look as high as that one.. so im guessing it must be slightly lowered. either way looks really nice. do you have any plans for it?

Been on it for last 18 months doing stuff to it. Just want it presentable to drive every now and again, I know if I want to get fully involved its just going to cost silly amounts. Main issue is rust on rear arches , other than that its pretty good.

Currently I need a different exhaust , gear nob, some of the back black vinyl cards and few other bits.

Im basically rolling the turd in glitter and hoping to fend off the rear arches for as long as humanly possible !

Thanks pal.

Sounds stupid but when you talk about 30mm and 40mm drop , is that the springs you talking about or the actual shock absorber?

I will check and see.

As for teh interior it looks good in photos but is not as

In the flesh. I did some gliptones diy on it myself and rushed it. Will need to go over it again at some point, but I reckon will do for this summer.

Yeah front valance is taking a bit of a hammering at Moment . I built a garage on back of house an it basically scrapes on way in an out on pavement. Going to mix up some concrete an hopefully level it out , should hopefully stop it scraping. And it had quick spray job last year . I guess you defo get what you pay for when it comes to spray jobs!
