Some undersealing has begun.
All the ball joints and tie rod ends are shithouse. Will have to do the lot at some stage.

25mm spacers, mainly just to fill the flares that I'm getting.
Wheels are formula branded, just light weight 17"s .8" front 8.5rear . Temporary until find the set I want & have the cash for.

So my springs & strut braces arrived. I'd thought I got ripped off from the first place I bought them from because they wouldn't reply to my emails and it has been a couple months since I paid for them. So I bought another front strut brace from a different place and then it arrived on the same day as all the other sh*t lol
