Update: 31/10/08

Finished off doing the head gasket. Didn't get many pics of the build up due to it being freezing and me wanting to get it done so i could go back inside to warm up!

The Gasket kit



And all done



The new suspension arrived today. Yeah i know its G-Max, but this car is being done on a budget, and it does what it says on the box....lowers the car!



So started on the front and ripped out the old knackered strut and spring



Lobbed off a coil to make it the right height ......



....and fit the new stuff



Then once the front was done i got started on the rear! This time i lobbed off three coils from the rear spring



and again a pic of it all fitted



Didn't get chance to do the other side as i'm frozen and i'm off out somewhere soon, so i'll update soon with the other side done and some pics of it at its new height!
