Yeah, big differences in roll centre height may not help. Back springs are so easy to change, might as well give it a crack.

I'll give it a test drive, tell you how it feels sliding around some trees

Operative word there being AROUND.

We put the t18 rear springs in today and now it looks like this -_-

I KILLED A TREE

 

 

LOOK

 

 

LOOK AT THE TREE I DID KILL

 

 

LOOK AT IT

Well, I wouldn't have expected that.

Sits higher than I thought it would. Rear wheels are slightly taller than the front. Will see how it looks with the small back wheels on it, or swap back to trd springs.

 

Today I fitted some bargain basement gauges and ignition panel (not wired yet). Shouldn't have bothered with such cheap gauges - had to get adapters made to fit the senders, then the temp sender crumbled when I did up the nut holding the wire. Cheap cast crap. Hooked it up to factory sender but it goes out of range. At least the wiring is there now, but will need a new gauge.

 

 

 

And random arty pic

 

At least the car runs and has AC.

Yeah I reckon my stock sprinter springs are lower than that. Haven't quite worked out how low stock KE70's are yet. Slowly getting the car back together, so I might take some pics when it moves. :)

Volvo 740 front bumper endoskeleton fitted. Thick alloy box section with shock absorbers to mount it to the chassis. The car will simply cut through the smaller trees now and have more chance of bouncing off the larger ones.

 

 

 

Please paint teeth on it.

The beautiful part is how well the volvo mounts line up with the KE rails.

 

As in... Perfectly. Exactly the same.

Not even a "Just give that bit a flogging with a hammer and it'll line up"

 

Just taaaaap it in. Tap tap tappy. The ol' tapperoo.

Please paint teeth on it.

 

ooohhhh :yes:
