#108: Re: From Rags To Richs - E.M.C Demo Car v2 Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Fri Feb 11, 2011 2:22 pm ---- Well went to fit everything yesterday.
Front shocks wouldn't go through the top mount. After a lot of swearing and researching found out FK sent me a VW kit. After a few phone calls to the Ebay seller FK are sending a new set direct to me.
Very bad news though. Both rear dampers are gone, one comes apart and the other one has no gas in. There are no bushes on the rear end at all. As soon as you jack the car up you can move the whole wheel anyway you want. Needs new sway arms and control arms as they are all bent and buckled!
On a plus note strut brace fits

From what i've read, if the plan of selling the moded bits to fund the replacements works i reckon it's a great buy for someone that can be arsed doing the work. Credit to you

All modded parts have been sold. All the money has gone on the mods
Only spent £22 so far on the wheel bearing!
A long way still to go

Yeah, i know what the ideas are and the plan! Im saying that for a swap with his SW hes been driving around in a badly done car with s**t underneath the bodykit and from what he is saying about the rear, a death trap ( that im guessing his wife and kids have been in!

hopefully getting a set of Recaro front seats this week
#116: Re: From Rags To Richs - E.M.C Demo Car v2 Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 6:06 pm ---- Well new coilovers arrived and most rear end parts.
