Fitted some air shocks Chip!!!

I have a pressure gauge and pipes going through to shocks from the trunk. They are actually for 1970s dodge vans but they fitted with a little persuasion. Took the old shock off as they were way too soft and it made the whole back end wollow

Doug i can't afford the expensive tyres - come on i am only 21!!!

Besides i think they do the job very well!!!

yes mate thats looking very nice.

just dont pump them shocks up too high, top shock mounting points aint designed to hold all the rear end wieght and can damaged or bend that area, all those shocks do is hide saggy leaf springs.

does look tons better though

I thought the old wheels and covers looked better on this car.
The Rallyes look out of place somehow. I'm not sure why.
But the old wheels looked just right.
They maybe needed some higher profile and wider tyres on them to fill the arches a bit but otherwise I thought they looked really neat.

i see what you are saying dave but personally i do like his new ones

[although with the old ones i think they added a certain amount of charactor] i think its starting to look a bit more muscle

Like the new wheels Boz, like Simon says, looks a bit more muscle.

Lower the front a bit to get a nice stance?
