I found my poly bush kit And k11 wish bones. The rear rubber mount is bigger than k10 so I made my own brackets.

Also found I got gaz corsa coilovers

Its all coming together mate good work

 

[mas12555]

I sure hope they are not ultra low coilovers mate? If so you may as well sell them now (Y)

 

[AH.K10]

Don't think they are but you got me unsure now

Measure them top to bottom and I'll soon tell you

 

[AH.K10]

Not a bad thing.. a good break is a good idea. I hammered mine over summer and just lost interest

 

[AH.K10]

I don't work on the car when I'm not in the mood. But I am in the mood just busy. A break can do wonders. I have a few days off work soon so I'll crack on then and see where I get to.

In my spare time at work I'm going to build a pipe bender

A pipe bender is easy to make. I can't see how they charge so much. Only thing I wouldn't make is the forming dies

 

[AH.K10]

I agree so much money for a bottle jack and some extra bits. I'll make it to 2" and I'll make the former myself I think. If it messes up it's cost me nothing.

[AH.K10]

does the k11 rad fit strait in?

I posted this on facebook also but new vid of running

 

[h701micra]

Upper radiator mounts are different to a K10. They fit into grommets under the slam panel where ours bolt into it.
Size n pipe wise they're the same. Few brackets won't be hard to knock up

 

[AH.K10]

Today's progress

Looking more like a car again. Looking rough but more like a car.
