Done a bit more this evening, Whipped the rest of the dash out, and all of the sound deadning, then me and the heater matrix had a falling out so that came out aswel:evil:

Just need a U bend to blank off the heater rad thing then we're set for re-assemblage. Plenty of wiring to sort through and lighten first though boys ;) lol

Tired looking front suspension

All new off roader stance,:rasp: Obviously needs adjusting yet, but the main aim was to get it fitted and then fine tune the ideal ride height.

Never seen the back spring fitted that way before :) Its upside down compred to normal :)

Looking good though!

Lol, well the cut price kut from KTEC had no destructions?! So the adjuster is meant to go at the bottom? All the ABS lines etc seemed to be in the way that way round??? Can always swap it but would have thought it makes no odds?

just makes adj easier.

I thought it would be easier this way so not to have to work round the pipes? WIll see how we get on when adjusting the back, both front and back set to half but as you can see, alot lower on the front :eek:

Hmm, if there are the 1yr warrenty will be getting used!! ;);)

Seem OK TBH build wise, for the price it would have cost us for dampers (as two had pissed oil everywhere) and springs its worth a shot!

Cheers boys, TBH having done most of this to my 197 and worrying about if its reversable or not (as I now have to sell it) I can say I'm enjoying this far more as we can do it properly with no mincing about!
