Default New Springs

The new springs (inners and outers) fitted perfectly. They compressed about the same as the original ones i have fitted. I would highly recommend the company to anybody, just remember its a 4 week turn around from order date. I have post a link to the company a couple of post back on this thread.
so now the carrier has all its suspenion and wheels etc on, now time to start track bashing ! yuk - i feel some finger nipping comming up !!!!!

Excelent stuff Shaun... glad the fenders were to your liking... With my project i did not rebuild the axle which i fear may have been a mistake... it was full of oil when i took it off and everything seemed nice and smooth not nasty grinding etc....time will tell i guess. yours is coming along at lightening speed and she looks great... it appears now there are a good few Mk1's in the UK now

Im sure yours will soon be flying together Richie. i just happen to be in one of those lucky lines of work that gives me the time. Lets just say the oil that came out of my axle was not in a good state so it had to be stripped.

Any way the weather was nice today so it was "Track bashing time !" ( also know as finger nipping , only got one today so not to bad ). Well thats the tracks on now to get the engine run up - then the wiring (YUK i hate that bit of a resto )
