SebringRS Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Car now sitting about an inch lower at the front, just need to sort out the tyres now Oh and then to get it insured again next week, not driven it properly in a month First time it was out the garage today in about that time too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebringRS Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 After sorting the height out, I had a brake leak, so lost all interest in it, didnt help that i hadnt driven it for almost a month thanks to having no money to insure it Got that sorted, then got round to sorting the wheels out, and putting the new tyres on Gave it a wash today and took it to take some pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SebringRS Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I just used Halfords wheel silver mate, they're meant to be a slightly darker silver like Stardust, but the wheel silver was cheaper And its -2" at the front and -1.5" at the rear, gunna go 2" at the rear aswell soon as the 1.5" was a temporary block Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SebringRS Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 As usual my car lasted a week working and is now broken again..... But it gave me some time today to fit my new exhaust........ Sounds much better Ran it long enough for the exhaust paste to do its thing, then turned it off and strated to fit my electronic ignition Got as far as i could and have left the rest to my dad to do saturday, as wiring isnt my best subject Hoping the ignition sorts the running issues out, but if not, it'll have the new carb fitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebringRS Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Running perfect for a good 3 weeks now, hopefully have ironed out all the problems Got the brakes done the other week, still stuck with drums all round for now, just new cylinders, adjusters and shoes all round....stops much better And finally got round to fitting my Crosshair headlights today, needed some slight modding to fit, but they look perfect, much better than the halo's did, especially seens half the halo had stopped working Anyway, heres some pics Gone for some xenon type bulbs with the blue tint, as the bulbs before were rubbish.....hopefully they'll last longer than the others too Think the new lights give it a more modern look at the front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
