I've got a few 1.6 engines lying around and an adapter plate so if the 1.3 struggles I can always throw one in The 1.3 is a good'un though!

that's barely longer than stock. No rear lift springs but I do have some mint rear springs to use on the rear

My bad, re-read it. For some reason i was thinking "3 inches, is he mad?" 30mm is just over 1".

Get it done. Can't wait to see this progress a bit more.

yeah it'll lift the back end a whole 15mm I'm gonna have a play with springs. I want the longer rears in the front but I'm gonna have a play with leaf packs to try and run ruf with minimal lift so that I won't need much in the back to keep it level, just want some slight longer shackles to help her flex a bit

Had a few hours this morning so decided to start on the inner arches.

Used the carefully cut out section of arch as a template.


Tacked up one side, couldn't be bothered to remove all the surface rust just yet

Been chipping away slowly









Tyre clearance at ride height.




Also really like having my bulkhead in behind the seats on my swb as it's a good place for speakers, an extra storage space and stops stuff from the back sliding under your seats, however I realised it would be super easy to make it bolt in, I was going to add some extra mounts along the floor but I can rock the whole vehicle with just the 4 bolts



will do a similar thing to this again but with bigger speakers


I've also found some possible springs to use on the rear, they are off a little Jap van that's not a rascal just need to actually get a pair, I've measured them up and they are 2" shorter than YJs so should work well

A Carry then? It's almost a rascal

They use the same springs so..............Wrong

Nah they have a different grille and headlight surrounds...

The carry was hand crafted in Japan and the Rascal was bashed together with a hammer by Midlanders!
(Northerners according to Dan!!!)
