If your going to do the shocks and springs you should think about doing all the bushes as well. I have just done the rear ones on mine as well as the shocks. As soon as the front bushes and shocks turn up I will be starting on doing them as well P.S there's some links on my build thread on the bushes I used and there prices All the best Luc |

haha thanks, im not going to do any more painting inside the car, gonna focus on the new motor and the out side of it, gonna put a weekend aside and give it a good clean, cut, polish and a wax...the guy i got the motor off said it has a bigger cam in it....how would i identify the cam? do i have to remove the rocker gear to do so?
