Suspension is ready to go.

[msherry21]

Well after a long day of standing in the garage fixing these bits up...pissed out my face on copious amounts of alcahol due to it being the weekend, I managed to get all these bits together and replaced bushes and angle ground a few bolts...dam it! Now there all set to go back on the car with a few added extras; new drop links, braided hoses, uprated brakes, rev3 rear ARB, new tie rods and the obligatory Koni's and springs.

We all like pics so here's how I got on:

Managed to get a few other bit sprayed too, changing the colour of the car to matt black...just for a laugh really.

ooh some nice parts there! a lot of works gone into those.

[msherry21]

yeah took some time for something thats not really gonna be seen but hell, just another layer of protection from our crap roads, Hopefully it'll handle like a dream once its all setup.

Paul, I saw your thread on spare bolts, any chance you have 1 of these I could have off you? I think this is the only one I need as far as I can remember.

Psssssst, Adam, check out his signature. ;)

[adamh]

^ aha, secret squirell ! excellent news, i had no idea someone was scv6 into a mk1 :thumbsup: that is possibly going to be a large step further that sh1t pants scary :)

[Goldy]

Mmmm shiney bits.... looks real good matey all like new. Where did the droplinks come from? They look pretty meaty!

[msherry21]

Adamh, the rear Arb is from a rev3 but its going on the mk1 as its 19mm and should help the car keep flat round corners, the front strut bar is standard from a mk1 t-bar.

And the supercharger is only a dream at the mo, can't find one anywhere!!! If any one finds one let me know...theres probably a queue forming though.

Goldy, those are the rear tie rods from twosrus.co.uk, mine were completely fudged and would never have been able to be setup properly due to corrosion. These should last a lot longer too.

cheers,

Michael.

Cusco do a really nice rear strut brace for the AW11 £140 ish

[Garbe]

Lovely work, you know it was actually you who inspired me to upgrade to poly bushes and sort out the rusty bits while everything is off.
got the bushes, will hopefully be getting a nice clean finish like you've acheived. (i know nobody's gonna see it but what the hell, if a jobs worth doing an all that)
What did you clean up the metal with. wire brush attachment ?

[msherry21]

Cheers for the comments Garbe, even if you don't see it, it is another layer or protection from the salt and shit.

I just used a dremel and sanding attachment to scrape of any loose surface rust then washed off in hot soapy water, then powder coated. Still more to be done and going for even more colours, still need a blue, pink and an orange in there at least!

[Garbe]

ROYGBIV
thats the colours of the rainbow.
looking great, so the green is powder coating. did it cost much to do?

[msherry21]

All the colours are powder coated, red, white, green and black so far I think, I got all that for around 50quid. bargain.

[OlberJ]

Did you get it done locally mate? Been looking for somehwere decent to coat some parts.

[msherry21]

Olber, "recoat" in whiteinch do it, thats where I got mine done, great service!

look up yell.co.uk,

they have a website which is basic but does the job.

Michael.

[OlberJ]
