before todays work.....

after the 2" body lift.
it feel big now...
cant wait get my wheels now.
took all day long to do this lift.
and cheers lads you could of warned me what I work I was taking on.
I never even considerd the fact that the bumpers are are attatched to the chassis not the body.that was a fair old conversion so theres no 2" gap between them.
I never thought about the gear stick being a bit further away.
And what do I do about the rubber seal around the intercooler as theres a 2" gap?
happy though

when you've undone all the bolts, how do you lift the body to fit the spacers? do you just eat loads of spinach like popeye

Gap to Intercooler is no problem mate, makeitfit has no rubber on his at all

angle grinder and welder.
redrill holes on front bumper only one pin will fit so had to make a clamp for the bottom pin.
the rear brackets that fit into the chassis were removed and re welded in raised position.
