Got shit loads done to this over the last week but sweet fa pics 
Lowered the beam 35mm, f*cked 1 of the torsion bars getting it out and had to get a spare pair from Chris off here
Lowered the front 40mm but looks more like 30 mm 
during which I noticed gearbox oil seeping from the passenger side drive shaft seal so had to get a replacement and oil, thought it would only take 2.0l so bought that much only to find I need another .1l 
need to go to pug for that tomorrow.
Got a xsara VTS beam in my back garden which I can't get the torsion bars out of for shit either
really wanted to change to 21mm torsion bars at the same time as lowering but not happened as a result.
Ended up having to buy refurbed rear callipers as my attempt at rebuilding the old ones went titsup and also needed new rear brake lines for the trailing arms as the brake lines were moving with the unions when removing them from the callipers and flexis
Fitted new rear pads as only 1 rear calliper had decent pads in due to a mishap Ryan had according the puglve 
Despite "new brakes all round"
Fitted new handbrake cables that I'd had sat in the garage for year that were originally for the black d turbo but never got to round to.
Fitted my Vibratechnics top and gearbox mounts, also fitted new track rod ends, old ones were proper stuck, can't imagine the tracking has been done in a looooong time, ended up needing a blow torch on the passenger side
I've still got a sodding broken drivers window as no-one seems to have a matching regulator either grrrrrrrrrrr
Ah well will be worth it when its done
