Yes, that could be possible but since it starts as long as its cold its weird. But i have bought a electric fuel pump and when i mount that i will try to clean the tank, again..

Time for an update!
Got some parts home today:





Not sure if i will use this, we will see..

3x sets of springs and 1 pair of shockabsorbers.


3X sets with springs
2X coilover units
2X airfilters, good to have..
1X bra reduce valve
1X muffler that im not sure if i will use or not
And some small things.


Hopefully i will get the frontend abit lower and a bit stiffer now! And the reducevalve for the brakes is for when i do the brakeupgrade.
Hopefully i can get the car to handle OK atleast. I actually dont have my hope that far away, but thats just so i dont get crazy
I will try to get started on the car for the weekend, now that i have some parts i just want to get started

Yes, thats true!
But i Will try to reinforce and make new brackets for the shocks. Hopefully it Will work, i just felt that someone had to try!

Starting to get nice now..
Frontend has been reinforced and new brackets for the shocks have been made and welded in place, now its just the brakes left in the frontend!










Hard to get pictures in the small garage on how low it is.. But its nice! Tommorow i will start on the rear again, i think there are some welding left, dont really remember!

Brake adapters made up!

Testmounted:

Fits perfect!

No difference than the original? Should make it stop nice!

Just left to redrill the discs or the hubs.. What whould you do? To do the discs is easiest, but if I will change them I have to do it again, no big job though.. I think I will do the discs!
Then there is just some brakelines, tyres etc. Have to have atleast 14" with this brakes but should be nice!

Today i got another package! But now the payment from the summer is starting to run out!
I guess nobody is that interested in the package though, so no need to post pics or anything I think..
Now I will be away for the weekend, and will get started with the new things sunday afternoon or on monday!
