Thanks for the comments guys!
Well update id due the mot quickly came upon cue one week of no car and using a fecking clio to get to work! reason being to swop the rear beam over! but i wasnt just going to swop it over and done i was going to do a minor over haul. The beam came off a car that was slammed on its arse as in even tyres on harriers couldnt been seen. So initially the plan was new bearings strip down complete overhaul make it as good as new. But this never happened instead so it got a minor over haul
New Shoes
New wheel cylinders
New Brake lines
New Braided flexi Hoses
New cables
On the beam side of things to do eventually will be new beam bearings although these ones on here are pretty intact and been regreased new wheel bearings possibly drums too solid mounts. But over all im happy with whats been done and i have a dam good handbrake know almost as good as a modern cars! 3 clicks and its going no where!
Pics
Custom made lines
when i initially got the car i wanted to drop the beam and overhaul underneath strip to metal and reseal but this never happened due to the Mot coming up fast.
With the back lowered this ment the front needed too so the gmax shocks and springs came out so did new drop links and ball joints just because its easier and makes things tighter up front. how ever the front isnt where id like it to sit but still going to see how it drops over the next week as the springs havent been under tension for a while. over all though the ride is firm and flat can tell somethings changed but does feel numb atm.
So Mot time to put id bluntly straight pass! although getting there was rather boring turning fuelling right down putting the pump to well past standard was boring. pretty much a straight derv! turbo peaked at 10psi and full boost at 4.5k!
Pics will come later of the lowering! Big thanks to danny for helping when he could while i had to go to work.
