Craig, have you got any pics of how you mounted your seats and how much space you've got around them ?

Looking good! I think the ride height needs to come up at the back (or down at the front!) but that's very minor! Is it LWB, or just the angle
of the pictures?

yeah some total c**t got my lights for me, think he worked for somewhere called superlooms !
Its insured now, TPFT, I only get 4k if its burnt or stolen though. £615 @ £50/month after deposit.
chrsgrain, its not LWB so must just be the pics giving that impression. How do you go about figuring out the ride heights? I've just put an
arbitrary number of turns on all the springs. To be honest I have no idea how the suspension works with the little knob and everything!
IVA is paid for but not booked. I was told the other day that the technical man at vosa wanted a word with me but not heard anything since??

the little knob is your damper adjustment - there are quite a few threads over on the other forum regarding how many 'clicks' to use
for the ride height you need the 'C' spaner, a steel rule and a flat/level bit of concrete to park the car on (so that you've got a
good datum)
then its just a case of measuing the height to the chassis rails in the apropriate places and adjusting accordingly (heights & method in the back
of the build manual somewhere)
...not that I've got that far on mine yet of course

have you got all your 'sharp' edges covered yet ?
i.e. did you spot the bit on the SVA bar that had been covered before ? (there was still some left on one of those bars)

looking good
is the front track wider than the rear?
just because you are a character, doesnt mean you have character....
for all your bespoke parts, ali welding, waterjet, laser, folding, turning, milling, composite work, spraying, anodising and cad drawing....
u2u me for details
