Hey vin thanks for the comments the sway bar link I will make a new bracket from the chassis

I can get a steering shaft for rod shop but I need to sort out what rack I am going to use

the wheels are standard 14″ steel over the adapter hub with no brakes the brakes are the same size as the wheel

It looks like there’s lots of space now, wait till you start putting the headers in haha Making some great progress, shame that it’ll stop while family life takes over for a bit. Thats cars though. How much clearance do you have from the bottom of the sump to the ground? Looking pretty low, hopefully it isnt too exposed

Hey Heron sump dose look close but as I took the photo’s the rear was still on the position jacks sump still 100mmm of the ground ,will be putting a bash guard under there as well ,,,crank pulley hangs down aswell

Yip Family stuff yes but I get my 100sqm workshop in the process

Looking great dude, same brakes as mine, they work great. Does lowering the K frame like that mean you have to do anything funky with the springs and shocks, or does it all just bolt up like normal?

Hey Gary no nothing funky just bolts in as the right height is adjusted from the strut not the spring I think you have the same set up

[Judge1 FrazerParticipant new zealand1983 VB LSA MG9 6060 6 speed View build HERE Member since: February 5, 2016 Posts: 775]

well got the struts back and the brakes dam they are big ,have put it together looks awesome , if someone has an old girl that is lowered would like to see some photo’s of the lower control arms to see if there is much difference to what I have with the spacers ,, also put the power steering rack in and the manual to see the difference heaps of room for the manual rack
