Yes, I think you are right - four years work and it's still a wreck - I am obviously doing something wrong somewhere..

Damn, Ive just scrapped the identical motor which had a full interior for potential spares. Looks great though is it going to become the play toy or stay clean.
Cheers Nick

no point in having a decent car then wrecking it! Oh yes there is, it's called OFF-ROADING! Of course I,m going to (as long as I keep the mirror in the sun visor for the wife!)

keep an eye on your rear anti roll bar.
with an extra 2" droop from the longer shock absorbers - it has been know for the bracket at the axle end to flip over when the wheel is on full extension.
some people put a space on the ARB bracket on the chassis to space the bar down an inch or 2 to prevent this.
