You might wanna move the axle boot spine forward a little more rather than have it straight up and down. Its comming along nice!

hey all... cheers again for the comments guys....
ive been cracking on a fair bit and not taking may photos im afraid although i do have a few...
body is on... it had sagged a small amount after sitting for so long but it was minimal and after a bit of light persuasion, it is now bolted down well.
ive got the air ride all working and been having some fun with that... the speed is just fine for me and very impressed with the whole kit.... the only thing that was not as good as id hoped is the refill time once you have used all your pressure... i may invest in another compressor at some point to help improve this....
one problem i did come accross is that when the back is at its lowest the rear inner wing touches the handbrake mech on the caliper....HOWEVER.. when the engine is in the sump will stop it from going this low.... a bump stop will be req me thinks.. bit late now but it will be done..
lastly... the chromer i used had bent the steering column with the heat i pressume.. but thats all been straightened back out nicely by adam....
heres the only pics i have at the moment, taking its first step outside in god knows how long... must be 8 months or something.... god im a slacker...haha

this will give you a general idea buddy... the edging on my carpets is the same as what my seats will be but accented by some cinnamon brown.
headliners is now all in and installed to.. definatly happy with the results so far..
