My Nile 6' Project/Progress (New zorst vid pg.9)

[Midnightclub]

Ok so got this back Thursdays evening, started looking over it Friday which mainly consisted of putting stuff back together and just working out exactly what needs doing.

1st thing on the list is cambelt, it's only done about 15k since it was changed but it's been 7 years now so definitely due. It's on a set of tatechnix coilovers on the front at the moment and it's far too low, as in.. can't actually get it off my drive way so getting a set of stock struts just to get it through an MOT.

Future plans are either a set of decent shocks and springs (Bilstein b6/b8?) with some adjustable top mounts for some negative camber or a set of BC racing V1 coilovers (built in adjustable top mounts).The BC racing are very similar to the HSD's I have on the BM and a lot of the BM guys run them. They're an inverted mono damper which is adjustable, preload is able to be set and lowering doesn't change this or the travel as it's done by adjusting the length of the shock by winding it, instead of compressing the springs. Price wise both setups work out at a similar cost so I'm still undecided.

Spent today giving it a good wash and went over any surface rust I found, cleaned it up and gave it a coat of kurust to stop it going any further. All in all it appears pretty solid and largely rust free. 



Needs a hoover, but still pretty mint. 



If the odo hasn't been reset then yes, it's done 6 miles since I sold it.. 



And one of both together
