Well today has been a busy today! Left the house at 8 this morning to embark on a 150 mile road trip to Lyme Regis with my usual road trip colleague.
Arrived at Stef's in good time after a nice drive with 2 old beams and 2 hours later after messing about swapping bits over (Rowell, could of at least stripped yours down!!), we were back on the road again. Unfortunately the drive home wasn't as great and we got stuck in traffic going past Stone Henge because every spastic and their dog insisted on slowing right down, not giving 2 fucks for anyone else on the road and going "ooh look, pretty rocks!"
Anyway, made it home for 4pm and got the beam built up...
And thought sod it, may as well get it bolted on. Well before i knew it, it was just starting to rain and i was just dropping the car back down on its wheels
I asked Stef for a 30mm drop and he's got it absolutely spot on. The rear was just a tad too low before so i am really happy with how this sits now.
Tomorrow i need to bleed the brakes, get the beam lined up and the mounts torqued and then go for a drive. Unfortunately I've damaged one of my ABS sensors so have decided to just replace both so they are on order.
