Yay about time!!! Lol. Nice car love it, will be great to see how it will clean up!
Good luck with mate whats plans for it?

EDIT: You should have been blessed with live axle for your car lol. Pretty sure only calais and acclaims had IRS as standard, although it was optional on most models.

yes, IRS is a pain in the ass, to get a wheel off i have to use 2 jacks, my 2 ton trolley so i can fit the 8 ton bottle jack under it lol, it only has 2 ceptors on it too haha been way to wet to get the others on!
i'm just gonna try some wreckers to see if i can find a bonnet the same colour, and just try to get some springs for it, so i can lower it a tad.

yeah lol, a lot smoother than live axle though.I still haven't got a camber kit in yet hahah. man just see if bumper master in south geelong will spray your bonnet and for how much he's really good.

i might be getting new springs soon so you can grab mine off me if you want. not happy with the height mine's at.

haha cheers mate, if i get the bonnet repainted it will looks uneven, so i'll probably save for a re-spray

EDIT: is it a big pain in the ass fitting springs for IRS?

thanks, i've heard the fronts can jump out at you when there being changed.
when i heard that i had a mental image of me getting smashed in the face by a spring. lol

 

[nathanVY]

LOL that would be unlucky. Just get a workshop to do it man, although there is a read in the how to section. You'll need to buy spring compressors and get a wheel alignment afterwards.

 

[elmaso]
