davo Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 To be honest I never drove it that much,mind you it felt fast if you watched the speedo cause it was well out !!! I'll have a look and see if I got any paperwork kicking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkautos Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Well you do not waste time keep up the good work, I am jealous of the ramp There new, for many years if been struggling working underneath cars, the ramps do make any job easy, there not that expensive too i paid £850 for them which is not bad, will lift 4 ton at ease, the biggest problems is you need a level base. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

®evo03 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Great project, calibers turned out great. Can you list where you got your parts from and prices. Ball joints, bushes, track rods, master cylinder kits, and caliber rebuild kits. Great effort so far. For wheels, did I consider ats 8inch classics.
