yeah keen to see pics of pedal box, have you talked to your certifier about the box yet?
Sweet no not yet I assume it just needs ndt/crack test same as the struts. Ill talk to him this week.

Any length you want. Weld sleeve where it will still be captive at its lowest point
sweet so I've bought some springs and the coilover kits now I get that I need to put the spring where its captive at the lowest point but how far out do I need to have the shock?
If you can find them I am running princess 4 pot calipers on the front end of my mk1 and capri vented discs and they work great, but surely the wilwoods would be a better way to go newer,lighter etc... Then I just have the standard drums out back which work fine also..
When my car was lowered it had compressed springs and standard dampers in the front and 3 inch blocks out back but handled like crap.. I've just picked up some half built coilovers that really only need dampers and top hats to complete so if I get onto that soon I'll post up what length I decide to use..
By the way your mk2 looks like a great solid base, do you have a thread?
Mint Ive put 2'' blocks in rear and it looks good but I might have springs reset because they hang quite low.
Nah I haven't yet when I get some time I might start one up.
Also I'm almost finished my pedal box its hydraulic clutch with brake bias, ill post photos once its done if anyones keen on one let me know.

Hey guys so I think i'm gonna turn my struts into adjusties with a coil over kit and run the 2 1/4'' spring, what length spring do I need?
-
Lincoln use one every day. I love it, it just flows real mint if you know what I mean? Its not that model though. Id never buy one of those chinese or boc ones their shit, then again if it can weld ali maybe..

Will stay as a road car with a pinto I'm thinking. probably repainting it orange ill see how it looks with the ally mini lights but I kinda like the idea of powder coating them black.

Hey guys new here Just bought a 1980 mk2 sport its a rolling body on 13x7 mini lights.
I'm wanting to put discs on rear and upgrade front and have seen the Wilwood kits anybody know if the dynapro or powerlites will fit in the 13'' minilights? and is there a good kit for the rear? the dynapro 2 pots look good but no cable handbrake
To do this I obviously need to modify pedal box I'm a fabricator so ill just do it my self anybody got any dxf's? will pay ya
Need new shocks front and rear what do everyone use? would rather adjustable ones and want to lower the car 2'' I guess, what do you normally do with the front here?
probably be putting a pinto in it, so in need for motor and box if anyone has one.
Cheers in advance guys, how do I upload a pic?
