I think they should do a feature on your barn/workshop with CorsaBrava, Mission impossible corsa and Jagcorsa...legendary stuff.
You got any show stoppers tucked away anywhere? lol

i really wish i could spend the money on some coilovers and get the back even lower, cos its not touching anything as it is.......just like a normal 60ml drop! there is space to go lower, or as it is will be practial for everyday but looks stupidly low!
it does look lower cos front is jacked up, gonna smoke a set of lights for the photo shoot,
thats ace. You taking this to a few shows this year Iaz? If so im looking forward to taking a look around it.
will be sold by time shows come along, its not amazing quality the work but its pretty good, wish i had had time to spend few more weeks on it to get everything perfect but was running out of time and needed to get it complete

think i would loose the enjoyment if i did that, have already lost a bit!!
in last 6 months have taken to much on with cars and its no longer a hobbie its summit i have to do, and when u have full time job also then its hard!! its got the the stage where sometimes i wanna have a day off from doing cars but i HAVE to go work on them to get the done!!
looking forward to taking over the pub, will be doing more hours there but also means i can do cars when i wan cos i have nothing booked in, i can enjoy it and become my hobbie again!
if that makes sense.......hehe

UPDATE FROM TODAY:-
been interesting one so far..........
got ball joint on the car and wheels back on and lowered it down and came up with few problems........
found out few weeks back that the drivers side spring had snapped but i didnt know how long it had been like this...... so was worried when i put new springs on it was gonna be high.......
new springs on and it say a little lower than before and with betta tyre walls also, not to bad then, still not really practical for the road
then went to the other side and guess wot, it is stupidly low, so i am guessing that the car had actually had 40mm springs but i thought they were 60mm, so car is sitting lower and cos i modeled the arches about a year ago think the drivers side was lower cos of a snapped spring........... so guess wot i did
GOT THE GRINDER OUT AND BUT THE FRESHLY PAINT ARCH down on the passenger side so the clearence is the same!!!
its seriously low on the 60mm springs but will keep it like this for photo shoot then put et of 30ml springs on for mot and sell it with both!!
so been interesting day........ on the good side tho i am now hoping that the rear is only lowered 40ml and i have 60mm springs so they are going on now to c if that comes down lower!!! hehe
pics will follow, looks awsome tho
