Getting the hub on properly, each caliper mount takes four bolts (overkill, imo) one side needed a little work the other is fecked so another day ill get em in there.

Only 2″ of ground clearance.

I’d like to place the point higher but this is as far as it goes.

Shortened the panhard rod by 8cm, made a kinda Z cut and shut job to give it strength.

After some measuring (!) i have it welded in place and painted up.

Looking good! again some other day i will raise the body mount point for the panhard rod. Possibly after i find out the car crab’s like crazy every where. Adjustable panhard rod anyone?
