It will keep you out of trouble and don't forget all the other jobs your other half may have for you. Good luck anyway.

Also got round to fitting my new Spots to the front, and (inspired by Auf Wiedersehen Pet's awesome Disco 1 build) knocked up a budget Saudi grille too...!

I'll try to get a better picture

Hey - looking great fellah. Needs a "how to" guide for the Saudi as those things are like hen's teeth!

Nice one it always takes long than you expect.

Looks good mate how'd you find the HD springs, does it stand a lot better and how's it like on the road chap

Pauldw · Aug 11, 2014

AWP - rare as hell!!! I'll sort out the "how I made mine..." when I get back after my next work trip...

Vizsla - Std Height/HD springs and shocks have transformed the motor tbh. Rides beautifully, stands about 1.5" higher (old ones were very tired...). much more stable on the road, corners well and tows much better indeed. Also changed the steering damper for the same HD make/model - world of difference too.

vizsla · Aug 11, 2014

That sounds perfect, I carry oak in the back of mine so I'm planning to go HD but didn't want to do it if it ruins daily drive but that sounds spot on, what make did you go for

Pauldw · Aug 14, 2014

despite some having bad reports/bad experiences, I went with Br****rt - personally never had a problem!
