Foggy, you gonna follow up on the front valance? Otherwise can I have dibs, that'd suit my plans for Kar!?

Wow, those coilovers do look special... Didn't realise you'd done the brake conversion. Shame she has to go mate, never got to see it running, but seen a fair few videos, looked impressive.

AS it is obvious... I think that you will have several people intersted in the coilovers... Good auction to follow and maybe bid

Just seen the shell too, I've just twigged it was probably TOW that was the "rally car" in the free ads a few weeks ago in Wales, I didn't twig it was your car Kev, else I would have had it complete :(

It seems that he might've used universal coilover kit like in here:

Yep, that's how I'd imagine it's done - not hugely difficult really if you're able to weld!

Yeah, only minus is that those shouldn't pass MOT here as you're not allowed to weld stock struts in here unless parts you use are meant to be used with the strut by the manufacturer..

Though many universal coilover kits like that have passed MOT, so usually they don't mind as long as the welds are properly done and it doesn't look like someone made it in 5 minutes.. ;)
