the fact that im doing 2 at once is not helpin :x think im gonna ditch the bar to do one side at a time, an i'll just have to go by measurements :?
been lookin at a pair of these,but more expense i could do without :roll:

done a bit more today :) mocked it in position first,so i knew roughly where to start
Image
Image
jus done a chop on the springs,2 coils :twisted: gonna get a proper set made up later :wink:
Image
been trimming up shock mounting till i got the size i needed,
Image
raised it up quiet a lot because of its low ride height,its seam welded both sides,once all welded up im gonna fill this so its all nice an smooth
Image
gonna build a gusset across to the upright side of the inner panel to stiffen it all up,
Image

Image
an this is it on its own weight,ride height :mrgreen:
