Good weekend job that mate :pint:

I wish have been week of pissing about

lol!!! putting my old TT sub back on so I will have to do it all again :yawn:

 

It weighs a fair bit doesn't it. Im always amazed on how fast these cars can go when you feel the weight of everything

This looks sweet bud! i didnt want to lower it of axle stands once i put mine back on as it might get dirty...then realize how gay that sounds haha

just sent all mine off to be powder coated .. and got the polybushs on the way as we speak ..

Lol! Get it dirty!!!!!!!!!

I changed all the bushes every one and all diff and sub was a pain in the arse

Nice work Dan.

Cracking job mate, I would love to eventually get mine all redone to that standard!

Nice, job. I did mine last year and those subframe bushes are a nightmare, drilling, burning, sawing. Ended up using a dremel to get them out. It's like a never ending onion!

 

Fitted all solid in mine, all driftworks arms and poly bushes on the bits left. Yet to take her out on the track, but should be interesting when i do. Anyway, this thread is not about me. Well done! :thumbup1:

I set the sub frame bushes on fire with petrol and then a blow lamp not much fun get in the new bushes back in again was just as much work hope its all worth it

Hope you didn't use petrol and a blow torch getting them back in bud.....pmsl.....Good job there though, looking good.

lots of grease and hammer lol.

Looks loads better! Nice work! Non taken on the orange though, would have powdercoated those parts black.

 

Love freshly powdercoated suspension and subframe components though! Good work. :)

What a difference.....that does not look like the same one. I was thinking of powder coating mine when I did the poly bushes but here in deepest Africa we dont have rust issues.My subframe still looks like the day it came out the factory in 1989 just with a layer of dust and elephant sh!t. LOL

Good job there and if I were in the UK I would do the complete front and rear suspension.

Im so glad im in safe hands.and youve had loads of pratice!
