what first?

right, i've got plenty of things needing to be done but the 2 biggest things (to me anyway) seem to be the coilovers and the wiring loom. i can't really afford to do both at the moment so it's one or the other really.

i keep thinking go for the loom first as i can then build around that and will need it to get the engine running when thats fitted! but a few ppl i've spoken to have said get the coilovers first as then at least the car will sit at a reasonable hight rather than about 1" off the floor as it is at the moment as it has lenths of wood for suspension!

so which would u go for?

p.s. if u say loom then expect plenty more question ;-)

Get the loom as its cheaper than shocks,gives you more time to save up.

Make some dummy struts to simmulate the shocks,have a look in my photo archive at "rear hubs" pic.

deffo the loom (in only my opinion)...an idea to put the car up on a pair of low-ish trestles too so as you are wiring and connecting at a decent height....saves a lot of backache......

have fun and....as previously mentioned...welcome to the loony bin!

cheers
