Her wheels will be two toned soon, we just painted them all white for now to tidy up the different coloured rims she had on there. White walls came up a treat, the guy who put them on did a fantastic job, they all sat right first go!

Not long now till she will get down low, and go go go!!!!

Nice work guys - love the lowered stance!

Yeah, c'mon Bob, the rear end is a piece of pi$$ - if you can bolt in a front end, you can certainly adjust the rear springplates!

Keep up the good work Ash and Bob - sorry I didn't have a chance to chat more to you guys at klubfest - was a quick visit for me as I had stuff on that day.

Ash and Bob i would also fit some sealed greased bearings with that much camber as like most fluids the gear oil WON'T run up hill to the outer axle bearings and they will be noisy / siezed in no time !!
