fronts not finished yet...and theres not alot of metal or spring left on the rear  :$
Iv slotted the frame at the back for more clearence (rear - welded a inverted box in where there used to be a lump ) and at the front iv welded up some mounts.
extended chassis forward and down then welded up points to bolt wishbones to which i got from a quad bike, Iv also bitted another cross memeber to brace them as well as a top strut brace. Once i worked out the lengths iv lowered the car at the front to see where the coilovers (also from a quad) will need to sit and that made up mounts for the shocks to sit. The bottom of the shocks dont sit at the top of the wheel hub carrier on my car anymore, they are mounted behind it with my own custom mounts made from 4mm steel and bolted to the carrier.  Been alot of work and needs alot ofgrinding back and tidying up in places ( hence no photos as im quite embarrised by it atm. The drivers side it almost complete bar one of two more bits of bracing and the passenger side isnt far behind.
The front will come down another inch or so by the time im done.

As you can see - the passenger side wishbone i orignaly made was toooo long lol :) Iv solved that on the drivers side and need to go back over it - hours work at most.
Iv got 4 more holes to weld in the floor when thats done, a cracked brake line, then fit no'plate lamp at the back , adjust handbrake, spray the inside, and buy a hub for my wheel , other then that little list shes ready to rock ( will probably fit a big shiney chrome bike can out back and make some polly mounts for the gearbox as im not happy how much it all moves! )

...then buy a VFR engine  ::)
