square head lights are sooooo wrong.

the reason the tyre popped off is nothing to do with suspention bushes. the bead simply cant seat correctly. any side loading on the tyre and it rolls the bead over and adious muchatchous.

finally got tyre refitted.

reason tyre came off was a tiny bit of weld left on the rear arch was poking down,
the rear left spring is shot and everytime i pull away it drags down on the arch. coilovers arrive tomorrow which is all good,
gonna fit them on and then i can take her for a proper spin

got a couple of pics of the car in the local tyre place

car will be cleaned on wednesday and my jager stickers will be applied to the car, then she is having a road trip to somerset to go to fritz for a make over i thinks.

nice arse, you can see where i switched matt black paint brands lol

one day i will actually get some time off work so i can take some decent photo's of the car,
maybe even wednesday

Are you respraying the bottom half to match the top, so it looks like a Jager race car?

she will be going fully orange when i can afford to get some body else to do the bodywork, im useless at doing bodywork!
that or if anyone has any other crazy paint ideas

Speaking of jäger, I know you'll appreciate this as much as we did David...when we picked up mine on saturday, we noticed that the front windscreen has had a jagermeister sticker on it because where it's been taken off, its left the sticky outline of it...classic!
I took it as a sign that it really is meant to be my car, good times!!

well i fitted the new coilovers and ran into some issues to say the least,

400lb springs are too stiff lol
gonna try 350, also they are too long as the car is about 3 inch's too high, its that or buy the rear kit and remove the circlips

however even though the back end was a little high it felt very very good!
power transfer felt really really good!

right now the other problem

found out why by tyre fell off the other day. the banded steel has a small leak on the band joining bit, so once again the tyre is gonna have to come off. llaaaammmeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

think gonna leave it now till after crimbo as i cant really afford to buy bits for her.
