You're crazy for wanting to notch the twin tray. I still don't have the heart to do that so my arms are literally sitting against the tray. Maybe if it's dented enough, I'll have the ***** to cut it up.

What's your FTG at this point?

22.5 but if I want the rear down any more(and I do)I need to get the front down more. The way I'm looking at it is is that the car itself has 150,000 miles on it,it needed all the brakes replaced and all the suspension arms and bushes done so if I hadnt picked it up it wouldve went to the great scrap pile in the sky sooner or later anyway. After my old red saloon I knew id need to do it eventually so ive ran it on the old worn top arms good and low to pre-mark where to cut and once I have the clearance ill replace the worn arms for new ones and do the bushes. Also got to work out some poundages to order new shorter and stiffer rear springs. Once thats sorted and the arches arent getting smashed anymore itll get a lick of paint

Ran into stu(the guy that painted my corrado)completely randomly and he had the works van so he mixed me up 30ml of kingfisher(pelican)as a touch up tin. Couple pics off the afters....dropped the faux harli @30fr/35rr

Ahh I love it!

Paint your lowers. That colour is so nice and if you decide to paint your lowers, it would have to be a damn good job to match the rest of the immaculate condition of the car.
