This weekend we started on the suspension upgrade, swapping the springs and shocks from my brothers old donor vehicle onto Doms.

Fortunately we started with the rear, a handful of mates turned up to help including Stutab.

Then we moved onto the front.

Unfortunatly while the lads were getting the front springs out, STu and I started on the donor, this was when we found the n/s front spring was snappad at the top :frusty:

So we had to restore the front of Doms motor to original. Now it is running round with a high arse end.
