Geez Gaz, I thought "now here is someone that knows what he's talking about", then you changed your tune at the end :roll: :) .

Thanks Tim.

Dave, I had the interior done by Dave from Cranbourne, he did my EK also.

Honestly this car is my first attempt at painting a car, and you can tell :roll: .

I will be bringing it to the nationals (FB 50th and all).
I have a set of hessian nudies that would feel smooth as silk compared to what has been done to this car, so if you want to be critical be nice and do it behind my back :wink: , Trev 8) .

Just sorted the rear suspension, this is what I posted for J and Ken.

OK, I do mine with the springs still in the car.

Undo the bolts that hold the diff onto the spring.
Put a stand under the diff to hold it above the spring (so you don't have to remove the rear end all together :wink: )
Undo the locator bolt that holds all the springs together (use vice grips to hold the springs together so the bolt will undo.
Image
Hear we have 5 leaves.
Image
Take this one.
Image
Flip it upside down like this.
Image
Use these to clamp them together using a screwdriver to line up the bolt holes.
Image
Bolt them together and put them in your car (if they are out).
I also used 1.5 inch lowering blocks aswell.
Image
Put the wheels back on and drop the car down to check the clearances.
The bump stops, I'll be cutting these in half :wink: .
Image
And the tail shaft, I have about 2 inches.
Image
This is what was like before. With the lowering blocks in :shock: :roll:
Image
And after :D much better :wink: .
Image

Image
Image
Hope this helps, and that I haven't done anything that will kill anyone :oops: .

Like I said, you can cover your ass and get it done properly and probably safer :wink: .
