Well.
Finished making a few things like the brackets for the coilvers to mount too so i can adjust ride height by just unbolting the shock and raising or lowering it on the diff.
Had my custom rear swaybar made and finished making my little D bush brackets out of alloy (i wanted fancy ones [:I] ) i have since welded the little adjustment brackets to the chassis. There basicly there so i have some adjustment of the rear bars stiffness.

apart from the exhaust......im actually finally finished with the rear end!! Its taken its time..I know. But im building a house and have had other more important stuff going on.

As for the exhaust. I may run a under diff setup as the car is just so low now that i can prob go under the diff quite easy. this way i can free up another 20mm of travel

All i have to do now is paint/powder coat poo poo and assemble. Wonder how long this will take me [?]

Finished my rear coilovers. I had to remove the rubber bush at the bottom of the shock and machine up a bush which i pressed into the shock. I them could fit the spherical bearing into the shock.i didn't want and rubber what so ever in the rear end setup.
I also obviously painted the rear shocks to match the rest of the red poo poo in the car.

I also made custom strut tops for the rear towers. I machined the tops to suit a spherical bearing in here too. I did this because the rear end is now so solid that when the diff tilts on a sharp angle there would be no give in the shock shaft and it would prob snap. The shperical bearing top allows for tilting of the rear strut.

This is what the strut started like




The strut top i made. i drilled the shock tower to suit the new stud pattern.




Im told my diff will be finished its dummy setup soon so i will beable to blast it and then powder coat it and reassemble!!

Its all not too far away now!

Thats not rear suspension, it's a bloody work of art!
I admire your talent.

I swear some day when I retire I'm gonna learn to do poo poo like that.
