nobumps

Pity were millions of miles away, oh and ill try and sus you some pics of setup over the weekend

Just got my petrol tank back and want to clean it up what paint should i use? Would something hard like hammerite be best? Also while im at im guna paint inside of boot any recomendations?

CLUB EE yeahhhhhhhh. Think i have brain damage from epic bouncing home, chur spence and other gcs.

Gutted i dont have gutters

Anyone need a ride have spare seat either from whangarei or can pick someone up in aux/whatever leaving at 12

Is he driving it down to auks for you boe?

mean chur na i just poped it back together with slightly smaller bumps, as im driving it down to hams will sort it out later kinda not kean on spending coin on it at mo trying to save as much as i can for the merc.

who for? me n sam sam and allan or all three?? Um could be a possible all depending on whos coming with me as i really need my own vehicle down there..

Gota keep those D1 boys happy

Oh Gosh sparkles guna be there, I will bring my camera for the nakey pixs.

Yeah single nut top, hmm fuck dont wana sacrifice any height turning out to be a pain and not keen to spend much cash onit, maybe ill just mash a small bump stop on there so at least its not a harsh ride when it bumps out, just watch out for me on the road what a fuickin menace.

So ok I checked it out and ya no go on shortning that shaft, So im guesing im guna have to find an alternative shock? anyway of modding the shock body and shaft or na? Heres a photo of how it sits in car - spring

Haha i have already sprent up to 1g on paint products on mine and its not even close to being done. Also where was this painted, please tell me it is a home job? So many people say you cant get a decent home paint job / i dont agree i beleive if you take your time and prepare well it can be done with good results.

Ok So the shell of the merc will be ready for paint in a wee while. What im wanting to know is if i paint the shell now and the gaurds/doors/boot etc later am i going to get differences in the paint? I will be using 2pac mettalic and it will be flat!! Lubs Ryan

Finally! been waiting so long to see a write up on this. Worth the wait. Love it, such awesome work/attention to detail, makes me want to paint mine black/nah too much work

Yeah boe similar to that

The chances of me finding a similar setup would be pretty remote, unless someone knows??

Look at my name... i lowered car to desired height (sitting on the bumps) i removed bumps to see how much travel was left.. Shit all so i want to shorten the shaft to get back some travel then i can replace bumps with smaller ones and have the best of both worlds, Im certain the shaft still has a fair bit and max compression will check tonight

Thanks thats what i thought and needed to here. Ta

Need help Car is sitting at the height i want !! At this height it has about 5mm travel until the shock bottoms out. Now if i get shock shortend say 2 inches will this increase the travel of the shock??

Fuck that shit boe, dis guna be the bestest os meetz eva, im leaving my two week old baby at home for this, comit now!!!!!

Bring it on! get your missus to make me some of those pies!! To wet to panel merc Farkkk.

So had a bit of spare time so i lowered the jettin jetta a wee bit, Will be lower once i get my wheels sorted. Borrowed mates 15 x 8 sportmaxs for now offset didnt turn out to bad, need to roll gaurds tho rubbing a bit as the springs in the back are very soft. As i said will be lower when new wheels are done 14 x 9s steels Overall will look something like this but keeping the jetta lights. And maybe tickle the epic powerplant a bit and have good times maybe a bit of track duty.

Your a smart man sparkle, I agree and thats exactly what is going to happen. So anyone knows if you can get 14 x 9 centerless steel rims??

Might try and mash on wallas sportmaxs today - at 0 offset prob not guna work to well tho haha May lower it today if time allows but yeah have some ideas. Will see how she goes
