Well after an aborted start yesterday, fitted spacers on front today. Results soon on post
I have not decided on whether to keep original coil rubber or not. I am going to give it a couple of days for everything to settle down ? Then it is out with the tape to see what I need to do with dampers and bumpstops.......
Sorry about quality, it was late.
Finally got to try the XJ out and really surprised just how it went considering the only change is the Coopers. Could do with a little more flexibility, but went everywhere without a tow.
Today, i welded up the hinge on the door. problem with mine was, the whole plate the hinge was welded to had torn from the sheet metel. i had previously welded it up once before but unlike others the hinge welds didnt brake again. the whole sheetmetal plate came away from the body. so i completely cut the plate from the body so i can weld the hinge to the body and not the second piece of metal behind the body. for those who have studied the hinge before will get me. heres a pic of the completly cut plate from the body.
Hey junglejuice the Coopers STT are 235/75R15. These are just great in the conditions such as in the pictures on tracks around here and on the weekend, but they are noisy on road.
Cheers
Ian
Jungle, that wasnt the crack. thats the cut i made all the way around the hinge. if you look closeley at your hinge. you will see its welded to a piece of sheet metal. then that sheet metal is spot welded to the body. the hinge and sheet metal tore the spot welds on mine so i removed the whole plate and welded the hinge to the body removing the faulty middle man.
Today i got replaced my LPG conveter and tuned it. took it down to a lpg specialist to check the exhaust gas level and it was spot on. lucky turning of the knobs i guess...
