Managed to get abit more done, to get around having alot of the engineout of the bonnet and to give the car a more agressive look its getting lifted
looking good up in the air
i love billet aluminium
as subframes are being dropped/lifted 2" i have to spacer the shockers out too but ive go for 2.5" on them
few rough calcs to measurements and offsets for bolts
2 of these
2 for other side offset by 5mm and weld together, aluminium offcut used to space the gap so it doesnt go too far out of spec
bracket in place, ignore the major angle as subframe was still at stock height
Front lifted up
Bit of sketchy work on the go, rear gas shockers welded with shocker covered in soaking rag and bucket dunked to stop it blowing up in my face, as i wanted to extend it and keep the brackets the same making face inner distance had to finely tune the angle of the brackets with a hammer and use the new brackets bent into the opposite direct (works perfectly)
Welded on the inner edges and puddle weld on the bolt hole, spacer there again to keep correct making face distance
Boxed in partly, rest left for suspension arm clearance
Rear lifted, can almost get my head completely in rear arch
Looking good and so is the car, roof rack sits at around 5 ft 5, will drop down a little bit with all the weight in, will be measuring up for custom spings the joys
lift kit is 80% done few issues with rear subframe's front locators and other shocker and to lengthen the steering column an inch as lowering it has also moved it away

I bet the purists probably don't like this, but screw them! This thing looks like a blast!

This thing is insane. Definitely not a swap I would think of doing, but it looks like it will be a blast to drive. I like the mad max look you have going too.
