Looks wonderful. My cars are in Northamptonshire too. I've been dreaming of a unit like that

Oh really, there’s quite a lot of cool cars around here.

Cheers for the comments guys.

Got a load of bits back from the platers so finished up my steering rack and shaft. I know it will have to come apart again once I mount it to the car, but wanted to see it all together.

Final bit of tweaking the rear bumper gaps, Ive been so picky getting these to fit nice

Bit more work done on the front suspension.

Rack mounted with the anti bump steer spacers, torsion bars roughly set (expecting to adjust it once it’s on the car) new bushes etc.

I’m also after some recommendations, firstly for shocks, are the Koni classics ok on a lowered car, or any other recommendations, don’t want something that will bottom out.

Also recommendations for a hard wearing satin paint to match the Powdercoat. I want to paint the lower steering arm and the bottom of the shock sleeve, rather than Powdercoat…. I don’t want to use hammerite and por15 only seems to come in gloss that I can see.

Thanks in advance.

Looks great.

I’ve used the Frost Extreme Chassis paint in Satin several times
