New rear coilovers went in this weekend. The bottom bolts took about 6 hours to get out as they'd fused to the sleeve inside.
Wound them up all the way and there's still only about an inch arch gap. I get scene points but I doubt the police or VOSA are going to be too impressed.

(This wasn't all the way up, but it's not far off.

Looking good.

Did you coat the lower bolt in copper grease where it goes through the shock? Makes it easier to remove it next time.

No, but that's a good shout. Thanks

Been a bit quiet on the rocco front recently, mainly because I've been messing about with my new hairdressers car.

Rocco is off to the first show of the season on Monday, so hopefully get some pics of it looking all dark and menacing on my obscenely large wheels.

Took it to a show this bank holiday, came second in the 80's catagory out of about 20 cars.
Should be getting the wheels refurbed this wheel and then it's off to the body shop to have some dents and rust spots sorted.

Just been browsing though here and regretting selling her now.
Does anyone happen to know where she is now? I know shes's just had a year tax and test put on so it must be on the road somewhere.
