The camber angle will be different and wear the insides of your tyres.

When you want to post up pics just click the upload attachment tab at the bottom of the reply page then click the "browse" option, find the pic you want double click it and the name should appear in the file name box, now click the "add the file" box and then press the "submit" tab and hey presto we'll all be able to marvel at you lowered bus.

The pic will need to be resized to somewhere around 800 x 600 or it'll be to big to upload :ok


Easy Peasy lemon squeezy :wink:

Gonna get rid of the alloys as i want the rims you have got. Just bought some caps and winning some tyres on ebay. My old wheels are being blasted and then powder coated black.

To resize you right click the origional picture and click the E D I T option,

once the file opens up there should be some options across the top of the screen, click the one that says open,

there should be a drop down box with a few options click paint once its moved to the next screen click image,

another drop box should open with options one of which will be resize / skew click this option then in the horizontal % and vertical % box type in 25 in each then ok

this will resize the pic it will then ask you if you want to save the pic

Hope this helps :ok

Ha ha yeah i thought that too. Some asian kid asked me to sell it to him sayin it was a halal kebab van. I dropped it on brickwerks avo`s 50mm. dont seem to have gone down much but the drive is a lot more steady. Im thinking of selling it soon but i dont know how much for.
Its had new ball joints, discs, pads, bearings all the bushes done. Engine rebuild, new rings recon injectors, seals and gaskets. Recon alternator. Cambelt, aux drive shaft bearing new exhaust and mounts. New thermostat. Conversion studs spacers and wheels with dunlop tyres. Front wheels bored out to fit.
Fully insulated using kingspan and silver thermo wrap. Lined out and carpeted. Laminate flooring, rockand roll bed. Saab 9000 seats bolted not welded. waxoild. Only ever had two pieces of welding done, 2 ince piece in engine bay and a piece where the seatbelt goes on the arch of pasenger side. Van starts every time key is turned instantly. Just need a sliding door handle as i have just snapped it. (gutted cant find one anywhere).
Think thats about it. Cheers for getting the pics up for me. Steve
