Panic has just set it. Presuming i'm working this weekend i have next weekend to MOT it, swap the front clip and paint it.

So long as it passes MOT the rest may have to wait till september.

I don't think the spacers may be required anymore.

Mr Angry is though. Need to chop a couple of inchs off the sills at the back and the drivers side front sill needs to be at a bit more of an angle, just catchs on full lock.

Overall it goes ok. Just been for a ride out. Sits at 55mph ok, any faster i may pass out anyway.

Gearing seems ok too, at a later date i might swap the diffs for the 413 diffs in the KJA just to drop it a bit more.
