yea I do really mate, the passenger door is a bigger concern to me however, it has a mighty crease in it just behind the wing and also has been repainted at some pint along with the wing and they look slightly brown in sun light.

Jay: Can't space them out there is no room!

have you already trimmed the arches down? if not theres quite abit of give in the rear arches, just trimming them down and pulling them about a bit you can get a fair amount more clearance..

Nah, I trimmed my last set of arches down and they end up going wobbly, I'd rather just leave it all 'proper'.

Only seems to be that pic that really makes it look like that anyway.

Update

Over the last few days I've replaced all my wishbones,tie bars/ links and anti-roll bar with refurbished ones that are also fully polybushed.

Started with taking the old ARB off and then the drivers side suspension set up

It was well corroded up and can really see how nice the one going on is

.

Then didn't take any more pics until I'd fitted the wishbones

The bolted the ARB on

Rubbish pics but you get the idea.

I took it out quickly, but literally as a torqued the last wheel bolt it started raining, so couldn't really tell, something is clunking though so got to sort that.

Cheers mate

Just had it up again and re-torqued everything after the first little drive, found I'd under-torqued one of the bolts that holds the wishbone / ball joint and tie bar together.

Took it out again and no clunking

Can already feel the difference when braking can't wait to try it in the dry.

! Mine's been off the road with a snapped gear linkage mate just got to work on it on my week off today. I'd lost all love with the car recently though but seeing yours makes me want to build mine back up... it's such a state at the moment!

Where did you get the polybushes from? I think that could be my next investment

They came already in the wishbones a tie mounts and on the ARB. I got the stuff off 'Luke' on here, it has all only done 2000 miles iirc.

Not sure what make they are as it doesn't say. Looking on powerflex though they are really expensive about £100 worth
