nice project dude, with the hole just get a bigger spacer and cover the hole up completely by pop riveting etc a plate over it, its simply the stock 6 inch hole thats been widened to fit a 6x9, illegal and may not pass rego like that,
chopping springs are illegal and pretty dangerous, thay can dislodge or pop out completely, it isnt that expensive to lower a vl professionally, can even do it yourself to save some coin

If it has mods like cut springs and dumped exhaust, and needs a new diff I'd be very worried about the serious problems you will probably be facing in the near future

I agree

the smoke is because the car hasnt been running the best till tuesday and i think it was blowing smoke cos i rev'd it to 6500rpm by mistake :S instead of 5k and the parcel shelf was like that when i bought it and the engine bay is clean now

ok well a quick update

the car has been raised by about an inch so its not as bumpy and i can get over speed bumps without the exhaust scraping sometimes and the last pic is what it looks like with no springs at all in the back
