    Been having a big push the last couple of weeks to try and get the Mex finished. It seems though that all the little jobs that should be straight forward are the ones that seem to take the longest!! It doesn't help when most of the modified parts you've bought have to be modified again to get them to fit properly!!!

    We nearly got her to turn over yesterday ! But there's a few earthing issues to sort out, and the brakes have been a nightmare, but will hopefully be resolved this week !! Then it should just be a case of interior back in and away we go........... I bet it aint that simple though !!!

    Big thanks to Rodders and Greg for letting me make them tea, while they do all the work!!



    Not quite sure about the blue hoses, but I can always change them at a later date....

    Thanks for digging that out Graham........Twin fog lights! That would explain the mystery holes on the n/s back panel then!

    Cheers
    Neil.

    Just getting the arches rolled will do the job, what about a spacer kit and no rubbing at all anywhere????
    Got 175/50's on at the moment, which I know are not everyones cup of tea, as they are a bit stretched around a wheel that was designed for 205's!

    The arches are rolled on mine, but i've also been recently told by a previous owner, that the whole rear arches were also massaged out slightly (I couldn't tell) in order to get them to fit. I think the sensible way of getting them to fit, is to have the axle narrowed, which I think Paul Spence has done on his RS2000? Frosty used to have them on his, but he just drove em down the kerb until the fitted!!

    I've had it rear disc'ed since it was last on the road, and I think by looking at it, the disc's sit slightly further in than the drums do (but i'm probably wrong)! So i'm hoping that when it goes back on it's wheels, that I might have a bit more clearance to get 195/55's on which I think will look more in keeping.

    Alternatively you could just fit an X-Pack and be done with it!!
