He can't run that fast. I only promised to love and honour. I refused to say the version of the vows with obey in! He would have taken it literally and i aint that stupid! lol!

Nope stock hight and steels or he doesn't use my car! Could even see if we could get it higher! Plus he's got to use really girly seats!

Today was the first day I've had free for a while. About time to do something on the bug. As I dropped Rach at work, she told me to do something useful. ie, NOT LOWER IT!...... Red rag to a bull! Twisted Evil

I dug out my old 90mm narrowed beam and dropped spindles and bolted them to the car! Had to narrow the track rods that were already on the car, so if Rach don't like it I can't put it back how it was! Laughing
It needs a while for the suspension to settle (the back looks much higher than it usually is), but it looks much better already!

As we've been having a bit of rain I thought it best to get the screen in properly. Makes the chop look better! afro

Running boards make it look much better too!
