Wheels are 15x8 ET0 and 205/50R15 semis (Federal 595 RS-R up front and Toyo R1R on the back). Also at the rear I got 25mm spacer and up front I'm using longer lower arms from a Corona (not entirely sure).

Very nice!

It doesn't look like you have much bump travel for the spring in the rear. Are you going to trim the stock bump stops?

I'll do a test drive later today and see. Probably will cut one more piece out. The new fenders allows about 2.5" of bump so I'll try and adjust everything accordingly.

A leisurely test drive around the block with quiet a few potholes went good (didn't hit the bumpstop, will cut it anyway).

Front is almost done now - tomorrow the rear will follow and then everything finished off incl. a lick of paint.

All things considered it's pretty safe so far. Just slightly restricted in movement and the fact that we have to be always alert.

still needs a good polish and clean.
If I find a place in time to do a proper restoration the whole car will get a respray. For now this will do, it's not perfect but I'm pleased with the result.

So here goes before, during and after pictures, will take some better ones (of the final result) on Friday.

next I'll have to go and register it. Once the situation calmed down and I can safely do a proper test drive in the hills I'll make a review of the new suspension.
