Today was a result, ive manage to lift the front end of the body by 20mm. First i dropped the drop link arms off the ARB to amke sure it was not twisted and all was well, i dd notice the top ball joint on each drop link arm was flexed to its max the steel cup was hard against the ball shaft, decide to make a couple of spacers to alleviate this problem which they did.

First image shows the 7mm brass spacer and second shows the spacer in place. This simple fix allowed the car to sit slightly more level then before.

Next i removed both front shock units and fitted the ally spacers made earlier, i used the 12mm thick spacers so that when the car was dropped and moved about to settle the suspension the front was lifted by 20mm. The problem i had was with full lock applied with the car moving the tyres were rubbing slightly on the top of the fixed part of the front arch.

Ally spacer fitted to the top of the suspension unit on top of the spring cup.


Tomorrow i hope to start fitting the dash, gearbox tunnel etc.


Well that's it for now see you all soon.
