Ella - The 1985 Mexican Bandit

I asked about the wheels and I wondered if the offsets were different.

Fair point Vietnam I'm not building my car to impress people,or to please them , if people think it's shit or amazing doesn't really do much or anything like that , building it for me how I want it :p


Going for Similar stretch on the front toooo , I'm not stretching them on to bodge the front end together ether , the front will be sorted Properly with what ever is wrong and not bodged just by putting a stretch tyre on it , not my style ;p and wheels spacers all round to widen the track a bit and get the euro theme on it ,

The car is is being built properly and will be safe otherwise it going on the road , no corners cut .

Might try the chalk idea , I'll pintch some from work tommoz :p

Looks good. can't wait to see this all fitted!

Few weeks more measuring to do and vietnams chalk idea ,

Have you measured the beam??

disks back from machine shop, all drilled up..
hubs, calipers and disk edge painted, new bearings inner and outer..
drop spindle's fitted, drivers seat fitted..

Did you sort the offset problem out?

Yeah think we have

Looking good bud. Will pop round later on today and have a look. Hurry up and get this finished summers nearly over!!!!

what was the prob with the front end?

Camber settings different on each wheel..I think that was the cause in the end...

Had some bad camber nuts I think,

bad set i got from BBT when they were around

Lookin goooooood

Yum yum!

Will try and pop round to give u a hand sorting out that ride height! U hit loads of reminder those rear arches! Looking sweet.

back needs to come down a bit and front up

Update? Nearly there mate. Sorry I couldn't stay to help out earlier. hope the brake bleeding went well.

brake bleading went wrong , the bias valve i ahve fitted leaks ! , connected up the pressure bleed kit and it started to leak :C, bit of set back , thinks in the unions that are on there , once that sorted the brakes will be bled lol

think the problem was i mis read the instructions or lack of reading and was men t to double flare the brake line s going in and out of the bias valve :p attempt 2 tonight , hopefully can bleed brakes then leave under pressure for 30 mins to check for any leaks then lock it all of ,

how did you get on?

have you double flared it the right way round?

yep double flared and now the adapter for the bias valve has cross threaded !
