Suspension lift in pictures.

My colleague & general all-round top bloke Jeff Harrison went to work on my Vit today, I thought I'd show you the results:

First, he removed the bolts on the suspension strut


Then squeezed the spring together


Then lowered the arm assembly


Once the spring extenders are in, attached the strut spacers


Re-attached the bolts


Time to get mediaeval on it's ass!


Oops


Lose some of the front bumper


Voila! Instant rust removal


The end result


There's still a bit of work to do with the front arches & wheel wells to tidy them up, & we'll probably trim up the rears a little too.

Yeah, I got some rubber strip lined up, just need to fold a lip into the edge & fix to that. I don't think PC Plod will turn a blind eye to that much exposed tyre.
Should be attaching the rear damper extenders today, as it still sits on the original legnth dampers.

Woohoo!

But that front tyre is the wrong way round, isn't it?

That's so  I can reverse out of problems Steve
