Then she's done and back on the road I hope.

Yeah i had too I'm off this week so i decided to get it done.
Yep brought loads of new tools from draper stand at car show yesterday.
I can't wait now to see how low she is and get those brakes a good testing.
Drivers side seems to be sticking but I'm hoping that will sort once I get her on the road.

I was hoping to deck it this week but I need another set for the expression as the 13s I have are way to small for both cavs now, with the Sri brake upgrade.

Tomoz I'm getting my tyres put onto my cdx matt black wheels then they are going onto my expression as the tyres are a little knackered on her and the expression wheels will be going onto her so i can atleast get her moving again.
I can't wait to see how low she is now.

I'm actually wanting to get a mk1 cavalier and matt blacking it.
I was going to do it to the hatch back but i changed my mind, I saw plenty at the car show that had been painted in it and they actually looked cool from old vintage cars to mk2 escorts.

Got her back on all fours now, couldn't get the cdx wheels done as they wouldn't seal for the air.
But i decided to use my spares at her front end to get her moving.
