thanks

i've only had it a few weeks after being a bug man for 11 years, i think its great, a bit tempremental but good fun. its going through a change at the moment and going hod rod style. matt black with laquered flame job with a blue outline, dropped 3 inches on red stock wheels with white walls.

should be cool and definitely the only one like it in the UK

Dropping this car and making it drivable is going to be a monumental task. Good luck and keep us posted.

Bear in mind that the rear minimum is already 5.5" from the pavement when it bottoms out. Ray

i've decided the rear is pretty much going to stay as it is, just the front to take down a bit, shouldnt be a problem as i have spoken to quite a few uk people that have done it before, they say just cut the springs. this is coming from one of the most respected dub modifyers (sp) in the uk so i will take his word for it. said it drive fine dropping it 3 ".

i was worried about short shocks etc but they say stock is fine.
